The dawn of everything : a new history of humanity

by David Graeber, David Wengrow

Drawing on archaeological and anthropological research, this work re-evaluates social evolution and the origins of hierarchy. It challenges traditional narratives regarding agriculture and state formation to explore how humans have organised their societies.
