In so far as we know, the keyword would be "tribal". Scientists believe that New Stone Age people were hunter-gatherers living in villages of maybe 100-150 souls each of which was 'governed', in so far as such a term can be used appropriately at all, by a headman who was guided by his priests/esses and by tradition.
In truth there is next to no evidence and for all we know they may have been advanced computer-literate socieites trading abundantly with each other and ruled by wise women guided by their perfect intuition. All we have to go on is the scattered finds of stone tools and bones that tell of humans living side-by-side with animals in caves like Wookey Hole (Somerset, England) and a thin handful of cave paintings of animals which we don't really know who in their societies painted or why.
