Who has more freedom: a nomadic, tribal hunter-gatherer; or a modern citizen of industrial civilization? And why?

Use whatever definition of “freedom” is most meaningful and important to you, and please explain your view.

Hmm, don't tribes impose a lot of restrictions on the individual?

Also, where would you classify freedom from random violence? Attacks, raids, plunder, rape, etc.?

Modern citizen has much more "positive freedom", meaning capability to do things. If you decide to go to Tokyo, you can be there tomorrow morning.

Prehistoric man had much more "negative freedom", meaning lack of prohibitions. Someone wronged you? Run over to his valley and kill him, if you're quick.

Depends which modern industrial civilization, if born in US than you have more freedom than any time in history I’d like to believe. And technology enables you to do almost anything you want, anywhere in the world.
