Unfreezing the Ice Age :: The Dawn of Everything, Chapter 3
In Chapter 3, Graeber & Wengrow use elaborate ice age burials and impressive building projects, along with more recent examples of cultures who changed their social structures according to the seasons, to suggest that perhaps our original political freedom is the freedom to erect and dismantle hierarchies at will.
We're experimenting with including visual timelines to help us keep track of all the history that's included in the book. See the timeline for Chapter 3. (A different presentation of the same timeline, in website form, is here.)
