Such as in a famine.

In today’s world, where inequality has reached unprecedented levels with the richest 1 per cent of the population on pace to owning something like two thirds of all global wealth, sharing – or even talking about sharing – is not de rigueur, to say the least. But in primitive times, sharing was near universal. Otherwise, frankly speaking, nobody knows where we would be today.
Anyways, and by the way, Daniel Defoe used “share and share alike” in The Life and Strange Adventures of Robinson Crusoe in 1719, in one of the earliest sightings of the phrase in literature, according to the Phrase Finder (Phrases.co.uk):
“He declar’d he had reserv’d nothing from the Men, and went Share and Share alike with them in every Bit they eat.”
And now, a few up-to-date examples of “share and share alike”:
1. If there was a theme to the 2013 Academy Awards, it had to be share and share alike. Despite early speculation that Lincoln was the contender to beat, it took home only two Oscars—Best Production Design and Best Actor for Daniel Day Lewis—with no other single film dominating the night.
Defying the odds, Argo became the fourth Best Picture winner in Oscar history and the first since 1990 whose director wasn’t also nominated in the Best Director category. Ben Affleck’s true story of the CIA and Hollywood collaborating on a diplomatic rescue also walked away with Best Adapted Screenplay.
