New Re: Fundamental Units
Throughout Western history, maybe. But Western history (specifically, Modern Western History) is but a small slice of the human endeavor. The tribe has a much broader, and longer, history as the Fundamental Unit of society, for societies both greater and (admittedly) and lesser than the vaunted Western society you so avidly defend as the penultimate of human society.

Harumph!
