Explain the correlation between how many societies evolved from foragers to farmers to more intensive farmes; from reciprocity to redistribution to market exchange; and likewise how they evolved from egalitarian to rank and to class-based societies.
Gray Bold
The traditional view is that agricultural food production supported a denser population, which in turn supported larger sedentary communities, the accumulation of goods and tools, and specialization in diverse forms of new labor. The development of larger societies led to the development of different means of decision making and to governmental organization. Food surpluses made possible the development of a social elite who were not otherwise engaged in agriculture, industry or commerce, but dominated their communities by other means and monopolized decision-making.

That question is practically an essay on its own
I really cannot answer it here but if you'd like to go into it, discuss the neolithic revolution giving people the ability to grow foods, societal advances are big but I'd compare the capitalist system with the neolithic age and suggest that it's similar to trading before the introduction of a universal currency
Really cannot give a full answer.
