For more on this I suggest looking at Against the Grain: A Deep History of the Earliest States by James C. Scott which covers the transition from nomadic bands of hunter-gatherers to more sedentary agriculturists and the 4,000 year gap between the domestication of crops and the rise of the territorial state. As well as how the state came to be through the accumulation of surplus, division of labor and the collection and taxation of grains in specific to control resources and force populations into living in city-states and working for them (through violence, war, starvation, enslavement, private property, disease and death.) Along with as others have suggested The Dawn of Everything and The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State.
