Description
The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by David Graeber and David Wengrow (2021) The Dawn of Everything challenges conventional narratives about the origins of human civilization. Anthropologist David Graeber and archaeologist David Wengrow offer a sweeping re-examination of early human societies, arguing that the standard story of inevitable social hierarchy, inequality, and state formation is overly simplistic and inaccurate. Drawing on recent archaeological and anthropological findings, they demonstrate that prehistoric societies were diverse, complex, and often organized around principles of equality, freedom, and experimentation. The book invites readers to reconsider assumptions about human nature, progress, and the possibilities for organizing society, presenting an alternative vision of humanity’s past that opens up new ways of thinking about its future.
