The Paleolithic society reminds me of the neighborhood where I grew up. The Paleolithic society consisted of small communities- they had twenty to fifty people (neighbors), same as my neighborhood. They had a strong relationship with each other, same as my neighborhood where everybody knew everybody else: we participated in the same social events, cared for each other, and also if a child misbehaved everyone knew about it (mainly the parents). The only difference between both, the Paleolithic society and my neighborhood, was that we did not move from place to place as a group, but we did it individually. And when the community started to expand it was hard to keep track of everyone and the strong relationships started to weaken.
