David Graeber and David Wengrow (2021), Dawn of Everything.
Describing the diversity of early human societies, the book critiques traditional narratives of history’s linear development from primitivism to civilization. Instead, The Dawn of Everything posits that humans lived in large, complex, but decentralized polities for millennia. The book suggests that social emancipation can be found in a more accurate understanding of human history, based on recent scientific evidence with the assistance of the fields of anthropology and archaeology. 526 pages.
