ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Dawn of Everything A New History of Humanity by David Graeber and David Wengrow presents a re-examination of the human past, questioning long-held assumptions about social evolution. The book delves into anthropological and archaeological findings to explore the diverse and often surprising ways in which societies have organized themselves throughout history. It challenges the conventional narrative that human societies have moved in a linear fashion from simple, egalitarian beginnings to complex, hierarchical structures. Instead, the authors investigate instances of societal experimentation with different forms of governance and social life, raising fundamental questions about the origins of inequality and freedom, and the influence of indigenous thought on European intellectual history.
