2 - Your talking about bands ranging in size from a handful to dozens, at most the low hundreds range. Everyone knew each other. Everyone could see if someone else was slacking (and then they wouldn't get as much from the kill and might not get anything). Everyone could impose various social and practical consequences on others for not contributing or for doing something harmful.

This is the part that koan doesn't get. In a true tribe, if you didn't contribute, you would be ostracized. You wouldn't share in anything. You would be a pariah and set out on your own.
