What if everything you thought you knew about human history was wrong? David Wengrow, archaeologist and co-author of The Dawn of Everything, has shaken up our understanding of how civilizations began — and what that means for our future.
Instead of a straight line from tribes to cities to states, the past is full of experiments: communities that mixed freedom with hierarchy, cities without kings, and societies that reinvented themselves over and over. If our ancestors had so many options, why do we think we don’t?
In this conversation, we’ll ask what archaeology can teach us about democracy, inequality, and freedom today. Could re-examining the origins of civilization open up new possibilities for how we live together now?
