TGBC: The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow

Welcome to The Good Book Club Podcast where we make all our bookclub meetings available for viewers and listeners to enjoy. In our May bookclub meeting we discussed the book “The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity” by David Graeber and David Wengrow.

This book offers a dramatically new understanding of human history, challenging our most fundamental assumptions about social evolution―from the development of agriculture and cities to the origins of the state, democracy, and inequality―and revealing new possibilities for human emancipation.

For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike. The authors show how such theories first emerged in the eighteenth century and are far from the truth of our neolithic ancestors.

We found this discussion incredibly interesting and we know you will too. This The Good Book Club meeting was originally held on Sunday, May 18th, 2025.
