This is why the institution of marriage was created. My being monogamous we ensure that we have offspring that carry our genes. It may not be biologically optimal in the sense that we can't have as many offspring as if we were polygamous, but it is conducive to a stable society, which for humans...

Tribes are just large social groups, not states. Unlike states they do not have formal political sovereignty or a monopoly on force within a territory. They are a large association of people who have come together to satisfy certain basic interests. At any rate I am talking about human...

We do know that among the earliest human societies there was no private property, state, or class, because all those things took form only after the Agricultural (Neolithic) Revolution. No you wouldn't, because that would be socially unacceptable. This is why social mores exist; they keep...

Does this mean our earliest ancestors were asexual single-celled organisms? After all the manner in which the earliest hunter-gatherer societies lived can be described as 'communist' in every sense: there was no private property besides personal belongings, no state, no social classes.

Yes. No one. In the Marxist theory of communism there are no states or nation-states. Here is something else from your beloved Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism Judging by your lack of knowledge on communism and your confusing of Marxist-Leninist states with communist...

A communist society would be one in which all property and the means of production are held in the hands of the people in common (i.e. rather than in the hands of the state or a privileged class). Theoretically, there is no economic inequality because everyone has equal access to resources...

A communist society, by definition, is a stateless society. A stateless society can't have a state. The wiki link is about states that were ruled by a Communist Party of some sort, which is not the same as a 'communist state'. Try looking beyond Wikipedia.

There is no such thing as a communist state. That itself is an oxymoron.
