I disagree with the notion that we were some kind of "undifferentiated horde" until human consciousness evolved. Tribal consciousness to my mind, is as much about individuality as it is about unity. Its individuality on a group level. This is why tribes clash and have continued to clash from the dawn of history, they struggle with each other for individuality, independance, identity etc.
Many animals behave individually too, look at Polar Bears, lone wolves etc. Differentiation didn't come into existence with the human mind its always been here.
Its just that there has always been an underlying unity to that differentiation but this when fully realised, empowers and harmonises that sense of indivduality without wiping it out. Modern civilisation seems hell bent on either wiping out individualtity or enforcing separation and fragmentation - the two poles without the harmony between them.
