Hunter gatherers have some very interesting lessons for us. But we shouldn't romanticise them or turn them into a model for socialism. Their relationship to the means of production will not be the same as in socialism and their level of subsistence is very different. Most goods in hunter-gatherer societies are not owned in common (the unit of possession is generally the family), but that is because most goods are not the means of production. And their concept of possession is of course very different from our concept of ownership.
