change in collective action with evolution of humans

After taking a closer look at the reading of Fredrick Engels I realized that society would have started with collective action only where a gentile system was existing and other daughter gentiles started evolving from it. The society was a natural grouping which smoothened the internal conflicts themselves. Also both the genders were given equal importance and there work was equally appreciated. But as resources started increasing there was differentiation in the society where the ownership rights of these resources were in the hands of a few. Due to this internal conflicts started growing and collective action with respect to the resolution of these conflicts became impossible. This division is widening making collective action more and more difficult.
