For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike--either free and equal innocents, 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 conservative reaction to powerful critiques of European society posed by Indigenous observers and intellectuals. Revisiting this encounter has startling implications for how we make sense of human history today, including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery, and civilization itself. Drawing on pathbreaking research in archaeology and anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more interesting place once we learn to throw off our conceptual shackles and perceive what's really there. If humans did not spend 95 percent 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 human history may be less set in stone, and more full of playful, hopeful possibilities, than we tend to assume. The Dawn of Everything 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 a faith in the power of direct action.

The book itself, however, fell apart as I read it, page by page. ### ⭐ Hardly readable and incoherent. A triumph of marketing over content.. *by on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 30 July 2022* Got the impression that the writers have been striving to present a sophisticated material that came off as hardly readable than focusing on educating the modern reader..Deeply disappointed..Some sections do not make any logical sense- clearly incoherent.. ### ⭐ A book that is written in medieval English not for the modern reader. *by on Reviewed in the United Arab Emirates 21 July 2022* The title has nothing to do with the content.The book gives you the impression that you are reading a philosophical book that is not for someone who bought the book to know the history of everything. Purely academic and old English, the sections do not seem to be connected..Some info is quite unnecessary to mention.Boring to read..had to quit after reading the first 40 pages.I expected to read history not philosophy. It is I think written for philosophy and history academics essentially interested in doing further research in this area. I think , objectively, and comparatively American writers excel more in entertaining the reader along with presenting the required info.Save your money and buy a history book that is written for the modern reader and not the modern philosopher.As an avid reader, I should enjoy the process as I learn new info.However this book made my reading journey hard and quite uninteresting. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/383509569-the-dawn-of-everything-a-new-history-of-humanity](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/383509569-the-dawn-of-everything-a-new-history-of-humanity) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
