The Dawn of Everything: Introduction
Rethinking the History of Mankind by looking at advancements in archeology and anthropology is necessary to fight our biased nature. That's what The Dawn of Everything is about.
A few months ago, I was perusing a book shelf inside a book shop (evidently) looking for a book(Géohistoire - Une autre histoire des humains sur la Terre by Christian Grataloup) about how geography partially determined of the evolution of mankind that I might read later because on a complete struck of luck my gaze was captured by this book with a beautiful golden lettering on blue cover. After rapidly looking through the book and looking on the Internet what people interested/researching in history and ethnology were saying, I decided to take it home.
To my surprise The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by David Graeber and David Wengrow has been a real mind opener, perceiving history as I was taught to be only partially right or at least pointing out to societal changes and revolutionary ideas.
I will try to write down in a series of articles the ideas developed in the book while adding more details or going deeper in what is presented.
