Anthropologist David Graeber and archaeologist David Wengrove recreate the puzzle of human history, challenging the dominant view of society’s development as moving from egalitarian hunter-gatherer groups – through the agrarian revolution and urbanization – to the creation of hierarchical states. According to the authors, this traditional narrative has nothing to do with facts, but only reproduces myths rooted in historical science. Perhaps humanity is taking a different path. Based on data from archaeology, anthropology and related disciplines obtained in recent decades, the opinion of individual thinkers, Greber and Wengrove suggest looking at social history from outside the Western canon. The authors objectively assess the ambition of their task – it will take years to comprehend the new picture and accept it by science, the more important it is to make a conceptual shift now. The Dawn of Everything originated as a kind of game, an informal discussion between an anthropologist and an archaeologist about human history, and evolved into an exciting intellectual journey.
