Summary/Abstract: I consider the beginning of society to be the integration of hostile Homo Sapiens communities into dual-group alliances, which ensured superiority over Neanderthals, made possible by the formation of legal discourse between the parties of a dual alliance who remained aliens to each other, which provided peace and stimulated a leap in linguistic and cognitive development, including the formation of the coercive power of logic.
