I would agree with you that this has been the default state of human history with since the rise of agrarian and pastoral societies. I tend to believe that previous to that in our hunter-gatherer days we were forced to live in a less hierarchical structure, despite probably having a well defined hierarchy of duties even then. Maybe more consensus building among everyone rather than simple blind obedience to the group?
