Sure. There's a famous recent book about it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dawn_of_Everything https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dawn_of_Everything Regardless what you think of the text, even the most stubborn critics agree the classical claims lack critical support. You don't have to assume communism. A world requiring lots of labor to do basic things with lots of diseases and death being common is alien to us. I don't realistically need to worry about wild animals, water access, food availability, or succumbing to unfortunate weather. DNA studies show that human population may have been as low as 2,000, on the brink of extinction 70,000 years ago. This time period is so vast we're talking neanderthals and a bunch of other hominids. It's a wildly different structure. There was lots of diversity. I assumed no social structure in my claims and showed that regardless of social structure, that pattern would arise as an artefact of the biology of childbirth. If you can demonstrate the delta is larger than biologically expected, then you have something to back structural claims. But that's you know, actual academic work that would take a month or twenty. We aren't going to resolve that here. The childbirth argument was the easy one.
