proeliator 's review for:

The Dawn of Everything by David Wengrow, David Graeber
4.0

If you are interested in anthropology or archaeology and want a view that's quite a bit different than [b:Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies|1842|Guns, Germs, and Steel The Fates of Human Societies|Jared Diamond|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1453215833l/1842._SY75_.jpg|2138852], you will probably like this book. It is quite long and sweeping in its scope as it moves around through all of human history, but I think it's worth the effort. David Wengrow (one of the authors) has a Ted talk about this book, so you may want to see that first before starting this 700 page book. The other author, David Graber, has a lot of interesting videos as well, but he unfortunately died suddenly a few years ago. Very groundbreaking work from these men.
