There were so many different 'primitive social' systems, that doubtless ( at least in my mind) operated in every imagineable way over the past 300K-150K years. Some worked better than others, some disappeared because there was some event (giant flood, wolf pack ate everyone, etc), and not because they were any less useful, or less functional.
I'm still bummed out by the degree to which "feeding young people into the kill-or-be-killed media machine" seems to be succeeding as an organizing principle.
