The history of... civilization, is the history of tightly connected minorities... a priesthood, aristocrats, soldiers, ruling over the vast majority of ordinary people. This form of institutional/cultural domination by an elite over the majority, linked to huge econimic disparities; could well be a deep-rooted characteristic of our species.
