The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by David Wengrow, David Graeber

5.0

One of the most important, eye opening, revealing, and revolutionary books I have ever read. Should be required reading for all (and I’m deeply sad it probably will never be). The reckoning(s) this book leads one to at both a personal, regional, national, and global scale is just awe inspiring. I appreciated the incorporation of indigenous and feminist lines of thought (though certainly there could have been more, and some of their language still felt oddly sexist despite their seeming progressivism… that being said…) - wildly important book that will make you reconsider everything you think you know about the world, it’s history, who we are, and why we are the way we are today.
