Is it "Anarchy?"

Now here we have leaderless people running hither, thither, and yon, all coming and going just as they please. And there is no "pecking order," no effective social ranking. There is no insistent leader to "impose order." Sounds disorderly. Sounds chaotic. And despite the obvious fact that it worked for our ancestral groups, it sounds a bit like anarchy - - -

So, are these people indeed "people without politics?" Is it indeed "anarchy?"

Because of the way the word "anarchy" is normally used today, that's not an easy question to untangle - - - but add it to our inventory of unanswered questions and we'll attempt a resolution a little later-on, once we have a few more ideas to focus on it. The significant fact at this point is that even to many anthropological researchers, our small-group ancestral social arrangements looked like "anarchy." Is it far-fetched to suppose we might view the same sort of situation existing today and also take it for "anarchy?"
