“This group is believed to have had an egalitarian society, without a stratified social hierarchy,” the researchers wrote in a statement. “Thus their construction of such a large public project contradicts long-standing narratives about early complex societies, which suggest that a stratified social structure is necessary to enable the construction of large public buildings or monuments.”

Researchers projecting again. Egalitarian society?

There have always been alpha males, who desire acclaim, eat too much, drink too much and desire another mans’ wife.

I think that I remember a Book that talks about it - and what not to do.

Groups of herders have equal stuff because they all do the same thing-that is still true in some places today-they guard from predators and find pasturage, water and shelter etc for a herd of livestock that they slaughter for food, clothing, etc and at that time, they were probably still semi-nomadic-that isn’t an “egalitarian society”-it is just a group of people who all do the same job and live the same way...
