Scapegoat concept born out of sacrifice. If someone commits an evil and if the tribe wants to pardon him. The whole sin will get transferred to an animal. By killing the animal the evil of the person is believed to be removed. The scapegoat concept was practiced only to remove the guilt from the person who committed sin. It was made to believe, we can transfer good and bad by doing some ritual to see the tribe culture to move.
The reason for sacrifice
We all believed that some people should die to see the tribe to continue, We are always exposed to danger by other tribes and nature. hence our life was not secured to be selfish.

Now, that happens today, we are all secured and the sacrifice becomes rare that’s why those sacrifice videos start trending..
The concept of sacrifice dies in the comfort of being secured.
