Quite the opposite actually. "all of human history" spans at least 160,000 years and the inequality that you and the parent comment to are alluding to is a rather modern artifact.

I'm not trying to be pedantic, but this comment contributes to pernicious myths about the human condition. If you're interested in this subject I would recommend the book "The Dawn of Everything" by David Graeber and David Wengrow.
