Eh… seems kinda pointless rambling. I think there has always been types of classicism in human societies. In small groups it isn’t as prominent as larger ones but there will be the big guy who no one wants to argue with for fear of a beating. The charismatic one. The one who makes the really good arrows. The shaman. And of course the dreaded “other tribes.” You see this even in baboon troupes. Governments, religions, and all the mechanisms of society are just emergent behavior from scaling up population groups. Which is not to say we cannot do better.
