Many different species of the homo genus adopted the same "technology set" of the Acheulean stone making packet, including Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and other early archaic human species. That's a widespread tool set that probably resulted in similar social formations across different human species, and we have lots of archeological evidence for this tool set. Given that such technology is shared across species, I don't think it's uselessly broad to assume there was also shared social formations.
phylogenetically "human" does not specifically refer to homo sapiens, but the 'homo' genus as a whole
Sorry to be a
, but 'human' has no scientific definition and therefore is completely arbitrary
So we're going to include the entire genus when discussing social formations? That seems uselessly broad

Yeah "human" society, with tool making, kin networks, mobile bands of hunters creating stories, painting, all that stuff predates homo sapiens.
And is present it other species. So should we start forming our political opinions around what crows do?
