Chiefdom was a form of political organization that was characterized by the influence of just one person that controlled the economy and the politics of different places. It was mostly used at the end of the 19th century. The Culture Evolution theory included the term Chiefdom when it proposed that cultures evolve permanently from the most primitive form called “the band”, then the “tribe”, then the “chiefdom,” and finally the state. Examples of these chiefdoms could be found in Polynesia and West Africa.
