Have you read this essay by Ted K?

He makes a strong case that primitive man was much more individualistic and selfish than modern man, who has become extremely cooperative. For example, primitive warfare is completely unorganized. Although they fight as groups, there is no organization or tactics. Every man fights for himself, only coming to the aid of his comrades at his own personal inclination. Very similar to how chimpanzees hunt and fight.

Sounds like a terrible strategy. Not surprising it's in the dustbin of history.
