As history shows, any human society had to define rules for it's social coexistence, kind of laws defining duties and rights. Groups without such rules as well as individuals died out. Well, there are always examples for niches where for some time other methods/systems may have worked well.

Anyway, you bypass the actual topic. You took "early stages of anarchy" and altered it to plain "anarchy". Then you took "noticeable society" and altered it to "humans as social creatures", bypassing humans as families, clans, communities, interest groups, civilization and yes, also as society in terms of nations and political systems. Such a rhetoric is also called "straw man fallacy".
