Yeah, like a couple thousand with very short, hard lives where nobody could really hope for anything more than simple survival while they watch everyone they love suffer horrible deaths.

We're talking thousands of years BC. I think we'd be hard placed to find any city-state that didn't use money. Harbors remain a clusterfuck with no agreed basis. Less time for people to study and invent science and medicine.

We at the very least can't do it now without collapse.
