I believe that the founders wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights for the people of the country they were trying to create - this did not include the rest of the world.

I wonder what kind fo rights pre-historic man had before there ever was a society or government . . .

If you believe in those rights as God-given then they were always there. I didn't mean to say that our founders created our rights. They recognized those rights and wanted to protect us from government abusing them. So they put that protection into words.
