No, Mr. Cesspool. Expertise refers to a privileged or valued specialization, due to a concentration of knowledge and skills within a discipline. A botanist or biologist might have the expertise to test soils or water for toxins, while the rando farmer or gardener doesn't.
"Perfecting" the means of production is what primitive societies have been doing, not expertise. Beyond the chamans and medicine men in some societies -who were in fact a priest class- there weren't any known "experts" at doing things. There were skilled hunters, warriors, craft (wo)men... but those were just relative qualities. Much valued, yet hardly restrictive. Division of labor didn't reach the point of separating these classes of "workers".
