Who Was the Leader of a Prehistoric Tribe?

This video is about how leadership evolved throughout prehistoric times. It explains that there wasn't just one type of leader like a strong "caveman chief." Early human ancestors likely had leaders based on social skills, like chimpanzees, or situational expertise, like a woman knowing where to find water. As humans evolved, leadership changed with their needs – planning hunts with Homo erectus required a skilled strategist, while Neanderthal groups valued compassion and caring for the vulnerable. Later, with the development of art and trade, shamans and diplomats emerged as leaders. Finally, the agricultural revolution led to wealth inequality and the rise of "Big Men" and eventually chiefs, who held formal power and controlled resources, marking a shift from fluid, shared leadership to a more hierarchical system.
