Why do scholars use the term "hierarchy" to describe Incan society?

INCAN SOCIETY

• Incan society was divided into two large classes
• Nobles and Commoners
• Each class had its own hierarchy
• Highest ranking of nobles were close relatives of ruling familes

LOWER RANKS OF NOBLES

• Held lower ranks in gov't
• These included non-incan local leaders

NON-INCAN PEOPLE

• Most commoners
• Divuded into categories based on gender, age
• Each categorie had its own rank and dutys
• Boys between age of 12 and 13
• They heard llamas and alpacas
