Communal peoples get their identity from building large towns or cities, the Chinese, the Mayan's the European's, the Russians, etc. Tribal peoples get their identity from small tribes of 30 or 50 or a couple of hundred. native Americans are tribal, look at how they live even now on the reservations. Blacks of all creeds are tribal, in SA today they are functioning on a communal level but that has been externally forced on them by hundreds of years of white oppression, they will naturally turn back to tribal relationships in time no doubt. This is why blacks in america have such trouble integrating into white communal culture, something in their primitive cerebrum keeps telling them to pick up a spear and kill that tribe up the block.
