Actually, my reasearch has shown quite the contrary.
There are still people all over the world that live exactly as they did before humans settled down, and they don't exist that way at all. Sure, genetically inept children (mutated ones) don't survive, but as is the rule of evolution, and mutations are only born in countries where the government horrendously pollutes the water supply, and even then are rare.
The people live as communists, purely and simply. They own nothing, though every member will have a spear or something, no one goes around trying to horde and sell spears, because their survival depends on all members being equal. Though anthropologists call them communinalists, the only difference between that and communism is after Engels and Marx, writers decided to include some idea of a dictator of a proletariat, which was a stupid idea, and all communist states are trapped in these dictatorships that have no concern of fulfulling their promise when they took office. (that was actually why the communist government in Hungary was overthrown by OTHER communists).

A man once asked the Buddha, "How does one escape the heat of the summer sun?"
And the Buddha replied, "Why not try crawling into the blazing furnace?"
