Abstract
This chapter discusses the evolution of sociopolitical organizations. Evolution is understood here as structural change. The chapter consists of three parts. The first part presents the emergence of sociopolitical structures. The second part discusses evolutionary streams with Polynesia and Africa south of the Sahara as examples. In the third part, an explanation is sought for the similarities in the sociopolitical structures of societies found in different times and places.
