Tribalism: Difference between revisions

'''Tribalism''' or '''Hunterism-Gatherism''' is a very early ideology, it cannot be exactly placed on the political compass as it predates much of what modern humanity even defines as "left, right, libertarian, authoritarian". Tribalism hardly has any advocation at all, and is perceived as primitive or uncivilized in the modern public eye, however(though it has to some extent been romanticized by popular culture as seen in the tropes such as the "noble-savage"). it is still practiced in some parts of the world such as North Sentinel Island, or some parts of the Amazon rainforest.

Tribalism is the oldest ideology in human history and has existed for over 200,000 years. It was not founded by anyone but developed slowly over the course of human evolution. Humans are social animals and are ill equipped to survive on their own, therefore forming in to groups and cooperating leads to far greater success. It remained relatively unchanged in the face of technological advancement. Many tribes adopted some technologies from settled societies, such as iron tools, horses, wagons etc, and regularly traded with civilisationcivilization. sinceSome of which even have managed to take over more technologically advanced settled societies such as the Mongol empire, forming arguably the biggest empire in human history. Since the advent of agriculture 12,000 years ago, some tribes adopted a sedentary lifestyle, but these remained a minority.
