Description
Our houses are such unwieldy property that we are often imprisoned rather than housed by them - Henry David Thoreau
By avarice and selfishness, and a groveling habit, from which none of us is free, of regarding the soil as property, or the means of acquiring property chiefly, the landscape is deformed, husbandry is degraded with us, and the farmer leads the meanest of lives. He knows Nature but as a robber - Henry David Thoreau
The earth is the general and equal possession of all humanity and therefore cannot be the property of individuals - Leo Tolstoy
Religion, the dominion of the human mind; Property, the dominion of human needs; and Government, the dominion of human conduct, represent the stronghold of man's enslavement and all the horrors it entails - Emma Goldman

While I do agree that our evolution into social animals has made willingness to share resources a beneficial trait, the end of property you show here is unlikely without a massive paradigm shift.
Just by creating money we have moved beyond simple agreements, so another massive change in such a relatively short time is even less likely.
I'm not saying it won't happen, but if it does it will be centuries from now after an unexpected sudden shift or through incremental progress towards that goal.
It is nice that others know of Emma Goldman "The Most Dangerous Woman in America." Well ahead of her time on many social and economic issues, her story should be read by those interested in the more radical ideas.
