Wrong again. The earliest date possible you could put on the emergence of class societies, would be ~12k years ago with the agricultural revolution. Modern humans emerged about 300k years ago, and 2 million years if you want to consider other close relatives.

So most charitably, class societies have only existed for 4% of human history, or 0.6%
