	Communication between bands allowed for a single unified religion to develop, worshipping the Great Mother. Women embody her, which evolves into Matriarchs being the symbolic "Great Mother" of their tribe, then the Grand Matriarch fulfilling that role for the state. Worship is less about formal ceremony and more about embodying the principles of nurturing life and family as the Great Mother becomes less of a nature figure and more of a moral authority to counterbalance increased violence with competition for resources. The development of a formal priesthood is to serve as moral authorities, serving as judges, peacemakers, diplomats, and civic leaders. Burial is in earth, naked and rubbed with red ochre, to simulate a reverse-birth.		Communication between bands allowed for a single unified religion to develop, worshipping the Great Mother.
