QUES: Control of labour and inter-group conflict is characteristic of corporate-level or 'tribal' groups, headed by a charismatic individual; whether a 'big man' or a proto-chief, functioning as a lineage-group head. Whether a non-hierarchical system of organization existed is debatable, and there is no evidence that explicitly suggests that Neolithic societies functioned under any dominating class or individual, as was the case in the chiefdoms of the European Early Bronze Age. Theories to explain the apparent implied egalitarianism of Neolithic (and Paleolithic) societies have arisen, notably the Marxist concept of primitive communism.

What theory describes the implied egalitarianism of labor societies?
What is the answer?
ANS: unanswerable
QUES: The term "Sumerian" is the common name given to the ancient non-Semitic inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Sumer, by the Semitic Akkadians. The Sumerians referred to themselves as ug sag gig-ga (cuneiform: ), phonetically /u sa giga/, literally meaning "the black-headed people", and to their land as ki-en-gi(-r) ('place' + 'lords' + 'noble'), meaning "place of the noble lords". The Akkadian word Shumer may represent the geographical name in dialect, but the phonological development leading to the Akkadian term sumeru is uncertain. Hebrew Shinar, Egyptian Sngr, and Hittite Sanhar(a), all referring to southern Mesopotamia, could be western variants of Shumer.

What compass point of Mesopotamia did the Hebrew Shinar refer to?
