Abstract

The ancient man conducted his life as an animal with animals. Individual life, which was eager to compete and win with animals in the archetypal social situation, the ancient man suffered with huge losses. Wanting to make up for that loss, the ancient man headed to live together as a group to save them from their destruction. Anthropologists call this structured way of life as the ethnic community system. The human race which functioned as a group, unable to meet its needs on an individual level. The rituals of this group, which was considered to be group community, can be traced back by the literary genres that express contemporary society.
