No person would want to live in isolation, save for some religious reason. Solitary confinement was dreaded by prisoners. But one fact of life was scarcity of resources. When lived in a group, men would fight for what was necessary for survival and would resort to force to get what they wanted. When lived in groups, there would be conflicts over four elements, economic interest, social status, power and things of abstract values. Economic interest was who would get what, how much and why others did not get the same amount. Social status conflict took place when a social hierarchy was established. Power involved who would call the shots regarding the former two. Things of abstract value were concerned, for example, with protests against putting up structure which would block the view of beautiful scenery. When bickering took place and the contentious issues turned to violence, it might threaten the very survival of the tribe.
