    can you cite a source for any of your claims?

      That tribes have governments? Yes, it’s called tribal governance. Literally any power structure dictating the lives of a group of people is their government.

          Here you go, government evolved with agriculture, and predates currency:

          https://www.britannica.com/topic/government

          Also your book doesn’t say currency predates government.

                knowledge, being defined as a justified true belief, cannot be what you have about my state of having read that book. you have no justification for any belief about it because you haven’t read it. further you certainly can’t know that I haven’t unless that were true.

                  Well if you read it you failed to understand it, because it clearly discusses barter systems relating to debt, not currency.

                    debt is a currency.

            you didn’t even bother to read your own source. it clearly says that the earliest humans didn’t need government.

              They also didn’t have currency.
