People From Ningde
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Urgesellschaft
Urgesellschaft (meaning "primal society" in German) is a term that, according to Friedrich Engels,Friedrich Engels: '' Der Ursprung der Familie, des Privateigentums und des Staats'' (1884), in: MEW 21, Seit36-84/ref> refers to the original coexistence of humans in prehistoric times, before recorded history. Here, a distinction is made between the kind of ''Homo sapiens'' as humans, who hardly differed from modern humans biologically (an assertion disputed by anthropology), and other representatives of the genus ''Homo'' such as the ''Homo erectus'' or the ''Neanderthal''.

The U.S. anthropologist Lewis Henry Morgan and translations of his books also make use of the term. In specificity, this long period of time is not directly accessible throu ...
