Lucretius, a Roman poet and philosopher, proposed a theory of evolution of social groups, religion, and language in his work "On the Nature of Things" (De Rerum Natura). He argued that primitive human societies were formed through the gradual development of social instincts, and that religion and language evolved as a means of reinforcing social bonds and facilitating communication. He also believed that scientific understanding of the natural world could liberate people from the fear of the gods and superstitions.
