Civilization, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged, and why they are wrong. In doing so, they overturn our view of human history, including the origins of farming, cities, democracy, slavery and civilization itself. Drawing on path-breaking research in archaeology and anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more interesting place once we begin to see what's really there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available from Whimsy and Wonder with New Zealand delivery or Christchurch pickup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43891398180900,"sku":"B9780141991061","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/2253\/5460\/files\/penguin-random-house-the-dawn-of-everything-book.jpg?v=1785751621","url":"https:\/\/whimsyandwonder.co.nz\/products\/the-dawn-of-everything","provider":"Whimsy \u0026 Wonder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
