Where is the ambiguity? If you mean the word "tribe", I see an essential continuity of ideology, from technologically primitive hunter-gatherer societies, to today's societies. The meme of "tribe" is essentially identical to that of "nation", in my opinion. That would be your opinion. A "tribe" is not like a modern state, in any way at all save it belongs to a class called "social organizations." The way the term "warlike tribal society" was being used was plenty clear. A hunter-gather/pre-agricultural society with low population, lack of a highly developed division of labor, and simple social organization based on familial ties and informal personal influence. Derek
