  1. There are many misconceptions about societies we call tribes, this being an aspect of society and history about which we are not well educated .

    It is not ethnicity that marks out any group as a tribal society, but its social organization.

    One way of looking at the topic is to focus on the fact that tribes are societies without class or caste hierarchies. Not all tribesmen or tribeswomen are ever equal in talent, industriousness, or wealth. But they are not born into high- or low-status families, or stratified into ruling elites and commoners on the basis of ownership of property or the labour that they can command.  By definition, all members of a tribe hold their natural resources jointly, be these agricultural land, forests, pasture grounds, fisheries, or water resources. There is no private property in them. A tribal family tills a plot of land because it has the right to do so by virtue of birth in that tribe

  3. Depends on what your looking for.

    The "Tribal Mentality" can be demonstrates in the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I know many people from different cultures who can identify with the mindset.

    Otherwise I suggest you check out "The Parable of the Tribes - the trouble of power in social evolution" By Andrew Bard Schmookler

  4. I do not understand your question in context of overall anthropology. You would have needed to give more information for context.

  5. don't understand your question sorry

  6. You have Hunter Gatherers, which is basically the fundamental type of tribe.

    Then you have Nomadic tribesmen, who wander with their herds.

    After this you had farming which was the first step away from tribal living into civilization.
