> why did humanity create governments?

The same reason "humanity" created mafias and gangs -- which is to use violence as a means of economic control.

It's as or more reasonable to say that governments evolved out of the need to mediate conflicts between people living in groups.

This is also a more reasonable explanation for organized crime, seeing as how criminals cannot rely on the government to mediate criminal disputes.

Organized crime has its own internal governance, hence "organized". So that's no different.

We have a HIVE mentality, as much as we try to hide it with personalization. It is the truth. We work together. WE WORK TOGETHER.

Is that a quote or are you yelling at your monitor?
