How did society originate?

This paper defines early human society as the early societies that formed in the middle Paleolithic, shortly after homo sapiens sapiens first appeared, and evolved through the Neolithic, when hunter gatherer societies started to experiment with agriculture and form semi-permanent and permanent settlements, until the societies reached a universally accepted stage of civilization sometime in the early bronze age. In other words, under the classification of Ed Tyler, this paper will discuss the transformation from hunter-gatherers through barbarism to the dawn of modern civilization. The discussion will cover the evolution chronologically, as this will allow all of the relevant social, economic and technological advancements to be discussed on equal footing.
