If you do a quick survey of all of those iterations, going back thousands of years, you'll find that communal forms of living either: 1) Are small, stay small, and continue to exist because they are isolated for a time. 2) Are actually under-girded by a hierarchical authoritarian structure.
Considering the astonishing diversity anthropology found in a century I'd say you're underestimating how much might have happened in 30 millennia since the last glacial maximum and now. We literally just found Gobleki Tepe and dozens of similar sites around it, it's almost 6 thousand years too early in terms of complexity. And modern humans have been around for a hundred times as long.
So the best you can do, is point to hazy things we don't have the full information for. What does the historical record, for which we have more information say?
