Except that none of that existed until about 10k years ago. There is no evidence of war or any sort until 13k years ago (Jebel Sahaba is the site often cited as the oldest known evidence of warfare or systemic intergroup violence), and most of it is from 8k years ago or later but truly mostly from 5k and later. There were no villages, no chiefs, no nations for 97% of human history, and even when early cities and even kingdoms arose, there was almost no central authority until about 5k years ago. We think ancient history means Greece and Rome, or maybe even Sumerian, but that is so, so recent in the actual human timeline.
Actual human history is a remarkable story of cooperation, personal autonomy balanced with interdependence, egalitarianism and peace. It's only the past 3-4% of history that the problem aspects have cropped up - due to the Kurgan invasions that kicked off patriarchal dominance hierarchies (which spread because they were so disruptive).
We have a rather pathetic inclination as modern people to try to imagine that the distant past was a lot like the recent past, just with a few less amenities and technologies, but this is not remotely the case. And if it were, we never would have survived. The Neanderthals had bigger brains, but we were friendlier and cooperated better, which is why we survived and they didn't.
As primatologist Frans De Waal has pointed out, “I am not trying to ignore the role of aggression and competition in understanding primate and human social interactions. My perspective, however, is that affiliation, cooperation, and social tolerance associated with long-term mutual benefits form the core of social group living.”
