From our recommended reading list: "The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity" by David Wengrow and David Graeber This book challenges conventional narratives of human history, particularly the idea of a linear progression from "primitive" to "civilized" societies. It argues that human societies have been far more diverse and experimental than previously understood, with a wide range of social structures, political arrangements, and economic systems existing throughout history.
