A [[Tribal Society]] is possibly the first non-herd groupings by society. They form and generally take on hunter or gatherer roles, and often a mix of the two for omnivores. These are nomadic groups, for the most part, and show real signs of cooperative behavior and society-building. The key identifier for a chiefdom is the presence of both external and internal technologies including tools and sophisticated social organization or hierarchy, and increasing theories of land ownership and use. | A [[Tribal Society]] is possibly the first non-herd groupings by society.
