I'm going to make a compilation, so specifically mention the work which answered the question. Bonus points for a direct link or quotation of a paragraph or two which directly refute the argument.

"It's always been like that". And variations thereof. Engels shows it's untrue in an extremely easy to digest fashion in "Origins of private property". All one has to do is bother to open the book.
