Pre-modern history classes – how come there’s warrior, clergy, elite?

Question

I like history and I recently noticed that across different pre-modern cultures there’s almost always seem to be at the most basic level always the 3 classes: an elite class, a warrior class and a clergy class. Why is that? Why not food-producers or something?

Answer 1

Because warriors have physical power, clergy have spiritual power, and the elite have money. Also pre-modern history often had the warriors as hunters also.
