The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity - David Graeber/David Wengrow - A Short Summary and Review

 

A short summary of The Dawn of Everything:

What the cavemen were REALLY like.

My favorite Graeber/Wengrow quote from the book:

"A man motivated by interest cannot be a man of reason." 

Questions to ponder while reading:

What do you think is important in your society?

Do you believe in equality?

My review of the book:

A very good look into the origins of humanity.

Surprisingly readable.

The book shows how similar we (as modern humans) really are.
