There is a distinction between human tribes that lived in permanent locations and human tribes that were nomadic. Over the 300k years that this article cites its likely that the majority of human tribes were nomadic because as the resources of any give location were used up the tribe had to move on likely following a relatively well known seasonal route. During this phase their primary dangers were wild animal rather than other tribes. The technology made a big change was the domestication of dogs which happened around 70k years ago genetics suggests. This was a symbiotic relationship that worked very well. Dogs could help with defense of wild animals, finding food, guarding infants etc. In return the dogs and humans were more effective hunters than either was on their own. This relationship was the spark that freed humans' time to progress in many ways. It probably would have happened sooner if the wild dogs of Africa could be domesticated but to my knowledge they could not.
