All of those are wrong. The first with encoded laws were the Babylonians and the Code of Hammurabi.

we have no idea. humanity had civilizations before we had writing, so there aren't any records from back then.

I would think it would be before historical records.

A Lenny Bruce bit talked about the need for police. He used the example of people living in a cave. There was the eating place, and there was the sh*tting place. Everything was fine until someone sh*t in the eating place. Then they needed to create the law that you couldn't sh*t in the eating place, and then had to have someone to enforce the law.
