Abstract: Sociality, which in Psyche and Society has been studied with all the data traceable in books, magazines, documentaries, has its origin and genetic root in the animal stages crossed by our phylogenesis, as reported in Psychosocial Origin of Man. From the detailed analysis of human societies, from the most primitive to the current ones, an analysis carried out in Naked History, the types with ecological factors and transformations have been identified, united in the Historical Framework of Civilizations. In this summary article we will see how the relationships between humans are structured, the common motivations, the types of aggregates and consequently how history develops. Less than 8,000 years ago, sapiens began to implement its potential. The initial agro-pastoral revolution greatly multiplied the species, pushing it to create increasingly larger societies until it covered the entire planet, accompanied by billions of artifacts, expressions of its powerful creativity. Beyond forms, all humans have the same fundamental needs (nourishment, expansion of territory, management of power, hope in eternity), and following one or the other, crowds are born and organize themselves into societies, institutions, sects, parties, companies. They proclaim common ideals and certainties, which soon become fideisms and fanaticisms, taking on the character of obsessions: human masses often converge in collective psychoses. Therefore, among humans, recurring relationships realize a plot, but this occurs only in two typical ways, like tracks that channel crowds and societies, such plots are hierarchies and markets. The importance of work is enormous: it is about understanding societies, history, human nature.
