   Nonesense, for most of the 200 k or so modrn humans have been here they   
   were strictly egalitarian.   
      
   Only within the past 10 k or so years has any kind of stratified cultural   
   organization existed.  Even then most remained egalitarian, and some still   
   exist as same.

   is free to offer any manner of opinion.
