Anfänge

David Graeber, the most significant anthropologist of our time, and David Wengrow, one of the world's leading archaeologists, unfold in their grand history of humanity how the beginnings of our civilization can be rethought and connected with the future of humankind. They revise our previous understanding of humanity and tell the history of humankind like it has never been told before. Over millennia, long before the Enlightenment, every conceivable form of social organization was invented, and the pursuit of freedom, knowledge, and happiness was undertaken. Graeber and Wengrow demonstrate how profoundly the indigenous perspective has influenced Western thought and how crucial its reclamation is. Vividly and convincingly, they encourage us to advocate more boldly and decisively for a different future for humanity and to change it through our actions.
