Summary
The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity, authored by the anthropologist David Graeber and the archaeologist David Wengrow, was released in the United Kingdom on 19 October 2021 by Allen Lane, an imprint of Penguin Books [4]. Framed as a comprehensive reconsideration of human social development, the volume advances a critical intervention in debates within anthropology, archaeology, and historical sociology. Its announced subject is human history, yet its scope extends beyond synthesis to the reformulation of prevailing narratives. The American edition runs to 704 pages and includes a 63-page bibliography, signaling both the breadth of its evidentiary base and an engagement with interdisciplinary scholarship [3]. The work bears the ISBN 978-0-241-40242-9 and is accompanied by a dedicated website (https://dawnofeverything.industries). The central thesis is articulated as a challenge to linear or stadial models of historical progress.
