David Wengrow
Archaeologist, Co-Author of The Dawn of Everything
What if we told our history differently? David Wengrow, Professor of Comparative Archaeology at UCL and co-author of The Dawn of Everything, explores how the way we present history shapes our social and political thinking. Throughout his career, he has always seeked new ways to reinterpret the past that can help us better understand the development and character of societies. At Brain Bar, he poses a provocative question: How might we change if we told not only the stories of power and hierarchy, but also those of freedom, community, and cooperation?
