通過對狩獵採集社會的人類學考察，人們對「平等社會」和「平等主義社會」概念進行了反思和修正。薩林斯提出的具有普遍意義的標準 —性別、年齡和個人特質，可以用於簡單社會的個體間區隔的標準，可視為平等社會的社會分層的標準。在鄂倫春族的氏族部落組織中，以狩獵鄂倫春族的傳統社會制度安排以及維繫社會秩序的習慣法的規定為基礎，輩分、性別和狩獵經驗是鄂倫春族傳統社會個體間相互區隔的主要表現。

Through Anthropology field work, people make a review and revision of the concept of “social equality” and “egalitarian society.” Sahlins put forward the universal standards - gender, age and personal traits, which can be used for simple social stratification standards. In the Oroqen clan tribe organization, based on the traditional social system and the customary law, gender, seniority in the family and hunting skills are the social distinction standards.
