Document Summary
Carroll quigley: state-organized societies arose on the periphery of earlier states. Archaeologists and anthropologists stress social and political organization: look at the development of the civilization as evolutionary perspective. Only scientific way of studying culture change over long periods of time. Chiefdom = political breakthrough: local autonomy gives way to new form of authority, single individual controls. Regional hierarchy chief and then lesser chieftains. Important because they provide a political stepping-stone toward the centralized state. Struggle for power didn"t occur until just before 3,000 bce. Early civilizations had councils of elders, not chiefs.
