Our egalitarian Eden.

The article discusses the egalitarian structure of hunter-gatherer societies as they exist in 2014 and are theorized to have existed for most of human history, focusing on research into groups such as Native American and the Ju /’hoansi/!Kung. Topics include such societies' emphasis on sharing of everything from food to territory, rules against self-promoting behavior, and other methods of preventing hierarchies such as cooperative hunting.
