Probably built into the foundations of life.




Hunter-gatherer tribes have healthier dynamics than settled neolithic societies ( like ours).

What does that mean, "healthier dynamics"?

All life is a strife for resources. Strife is conflict.


The important question is where you draw the boundary line for the conflict. These groups are fighting together against the environment, whereas we are both fighting the environment and against each other (in capitalist system, everyone is competing with everyone else all the time). Hunter-gatherer tribes basically implement some form of socialism, with little to no private property and cooperation instead of competition.
