They don't show it in the video but barter didn't come first. In actual History gifting came before barter and still exists. Before people bartered for goods they would give other people gifts to show they cared about them or wanted peace.
The difference between gifting and bartering is when you gift you don't expect something specific in return.
In time people would give each other the same gifts over and over, things people needed, until it became bartering or tribute. They don't mention tribute in the video either! Tribute is being forced to give gifts or be punished.
What is gifting?
What is tribute?
