Leadership and governance were based on the family or clan.
While animals have instinctive ways of determining leaders, for example, the proverbial "alpha male," humans developed specific methods to create formal leadership and governance. On the most primitive level, leadership was conducted by group consensus through elders who had life experiences and served as leaders because of their direct connection to their ancestral family members. These elders, were charged with not just wisdom and guidance in daily affairs but also with propitiating the spirit realm, serving as intermediates between the family members, the forces of nature, and the invisible energies they perceived all around them.
