"The complexity of human societies of the past few thousand years rivals that of social
insect societies. We hypothesize that two sets of social “instincts” underpin and constrain
the evolution of complex societies. One set is ancient and shared with other social primate
species, and one is derived and unique to our lineage. The latter evolved by the late
Pleistocene, and led to the evolution of institutions of intermediate complexity in
acephalous societies." - todd
