Modern humans have existed for 60,000 or so years. It's not clear exactly when we developed a concept of property. But it was likely not until we created the first cities in ancient Mesopotamia. Which was only about 7,500 years ago. So I'm sticking to my "vast majority" of history. Indeed, we have encountered cultures in recent history -- particularly aboriginal tribes around the world -- that had no concept of property.
