The Brief History of Democracy.
Democracy, the best thing that humans ever created. Also, something that seems to be in danger all around the world. Democracy can be tracked back to Ancient Greece, in 508 AD. Indian Subcontinent had many democratic states that existed between 6th century BC to somewhere in mid-4th century. Or to ancient Mesopotamia or Ancient Egypt. Democracy has been as old as human society. Ancient humans, who used to live in tribe were democratic as well. Anthropologist has found an early version of democracy in the hunter gathers that roamed around before the foundation of civilisation. The proto-democracy predates the agrarian society, sedentary society, yet the basics ideas were the same. The group didn't have a leader, per se. They would discuss the issues at hand in the group of families that stayed together and tried to solve the issues. This is what we call Tribalism or Primitive Democracy. This was the oldest democracy mankind has known. But since then democracy has changed a lot.
