poverty is itself comparitive. All the animals/humans in a group living in a desert could be uniformly considered poor. but lets address here only relative poverty between individuals in a human group/settlement.

Also poverty would be taken to mean material poverty, not those disadvantaged from accessing Natural Resources due to their position in the tribe heirarchy.

Then, I think poverty started when private property started. When individuals began claiming their rights over certain things more than they could use then they are considered rich, due to the presence of such 'spare' resources. And those who are cut off from accessing those spare resources of the rich are considered poor. Legal rights Spare resources are guaranteed by the State. Hence poverty started with the constitution of a State
