Product description
"pacey and potentially revolutionary ""sunday times"" iconoclastic and irreverent ."
an exciting read” the guardian “it's not a book.
this is an intellectual feast'
nassim nicholas taleb for generations, our distant ancestors were shown as primitive and childish - either free and equal or bandits and warriors.
it was said that civilization could only be achieved by sacrificing these original freedoms, or alternatively, by taming our more primal instincts.
david graeber and david wengrow show how such theories first emerged in response to local criticism in the european society of the 18th century and why they were wrong.
as they do so, they overturn our view of human history, including the origins of farming, ownership, cities, democracy, slavery, and civilization.
using groundbreaking research in archaeology and anthropology, the authors show how history has become a much more interesting place when we begin to see what is actually going on there.
if people had not spent 95 per cent of their evolutionary past in small hunter-gatherer groups, what were they doing all that time?

'pacey and potentially revolutionary' Sunday times
'iconoclastic and irreverent...an exhilarating read' The Guardian
For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike - either free and equal, or thuggish and warlike. civilization, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts. david graeber and david wengrow show how such theories first emerged in the eighteenth century as a reaction to indigenous critiques of european society, and why they are wrong. in doing so, they overturn our view of human history, including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery and civilization itself.
Drawing on path-breaking research in archaeology and anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more interesting place once we begin to see what's really there. if humans did not spend 95 per cent of their evolutionary past in tiny bands of hunter-gatherers, what were they doing all that time? if agriculture, and cities, did not mean a plunge into hierarchy and domination, then what kinds of social and economic organization did they lead to? the answers are often unexpected, and suggest that the course of history may be less set in stone, and more full of playful possibilities than we tend to assume.
The dawn of everything: a new history of humanity Fundamentally transforms our understanding of the human past and offers a path toward imagining new forms of freedom, new ways of organizing society. this is a monumental book of formidable intellectual range, animated by curiosity, moral vision and faith in the power of direct action.
