yeah i'm also a layperson but from what I do know there were various rules that tribes/clans put in place to avoid coming to blows with each other. Obviously it still happened but eventually it's in everyone's interest to agree on rules for usage of the good hunting grounds rather than have constant all out war
Yes exacty this was my point. Violence in pre state societies is a funcion mostly of population density and comletition of resources.
Another factor is that the people living in low density enviorments need a minimum number of members in their comunity to mantain their technological level. Thus the cost of violence is higher.
