Abstract

The paper deals with the hypothesis of the origin of generally significant human values as a fundamental condition for the emergence of a primitive society. The statement about the importance of the first moral prohibitions and taboos as protovalues that have become an axiogenic factor of sociogenesis is substantiated. The authors propose an extended system of proto-values of a primitive society is proposed, which have become a prototype of the value system of the modern civilized society.
