    Not synonymous!

    Clan society, called clan commune. That is, the grassroots unit of society formed by blood ties is also the basic unit of social economy. It is united by blood relations, and a clan has more than a dozen people, multiplied by a common ancestor.

    They lived together, used communal tools, worked together, and shared food, with no distinction between rich and poor. Produced in the Upper Paleolithic period, clans could intermarry with each other. Basically throughout the Neolithic period.

    In the early days of clan society, matrilineal blood ties were used as a bond, that is, matriarchy, and were called matrilineal clan societies. Around the end of the Neolithic period, there was a gradual transition to a patriarchal clan society based on patrilineal blood as a bond, that is, patriarchy.

    Primitive society is a type of social organization in the theory of cultural anthropology, based on kinship relations, with a small population and an egalitarian distribution of economic life. Control over society is maintained by tradition and patriarchy, without customary law and power. In a typical primitive society, there is no full-time leader.

    People of the same age and sex have the same social status. In the event of a dispute, mediation is conducted in accordance with traditional norms, which are generally observed. There are primitive societies all over the world, in a variety of forms.

    Some were dominated by hunting and gathering economies, others by fishing, or by simple natural agriculture, and tribal organization was characteristic of some primitive societies, but not all of them. According to the theories of cultural evolutionists, some primitive societies have maintained an egalitarian nature, while others have gradually become hierarchical societies and have developed into chiefdoms, which are more complex in their form of organization.

    Primitive society is the first stage of the development of human society, and so far, no nation in the world has been found that has not experienced primitive society. When human beings appeared, primitive societies were born. But his demise varied from place to place.

Within the clan, all the means of production are collectively owned, except for the tools used by individuals on a daily basis, and production and consumption are based on strictly collective principles.

    The assembly of all members is the highest organ of power, and all important matters are discussed and decided by the clan council. Male-centered, the bloodline is calculated according to the paternal line. The head of the clan is held by an older man and is highly respected.

    Clan members have an obligation to help each other, and if members within the same clan are hurt by outsiders, the whole clan is required to help take revenge. Each person in the clan has its own name, has a common religion, a common cemetery.

    Wrong. Clan society is a stage of primitive society.

    The society that human beings first experienced was a primitive society, and the primitive society included two historical stages: primitive people and clan communes. After humans entered the period of clan society, the initial social organization was matrilineal clans, which later developed into patrilineal clans.
