Is there one person in charge and everyone else obeys him/her?
Is there a council of people in charge who make all the community's decisions?
Or what other types of community organization can you think of?
Question: What is the importance of institution on human prehistory?
My work so far:
DEFINITION:
Institution: A long lasting pattern of organization in a community.
My Question: What does the definition mean when it says "pattern of organization in a community"?

Other patterns of organization can be seen in the kind of structures that organize a community. The family or clan, a tribe of people with similar ways of life/language, a religion, etc. Some kind of structure, formal or informal, that organizes the life of the community. And keep in mind that how a community is defined is important. The family (mom, dad, kids) is a community within a larger community of a village, while that may be part of an even larger community of a tribe consisting of many villages, etc.
