El Amanecer de Todo: Una Nueva Historia de la Humanidad / The Dawn of Everything

Durante generaciones hemos visto a nuestros antepasados m s remotos como seres primitivos, ingenuos y violentos. Se nos ha dicho que solo era posible alcanzar la civilizaci n sacrificando libertades o domesticando nuestros instintos. En este ensayo, los reconocidos antrop logos David Graeber y David Wengrow demuestran que estas concepciones, que surgieron en el siglo xviii, fueron una reacci n conservadora de la sociedad europea ante las cr ticas de los intelectuales ind genas y que no tienen un aval antropol gico y arqueol gico.

El amanecer de todo es una nueva historia de la humanidad, un texto combativo que transforma nuestra comprensi n del pasado y abre camino para imaginar nuevas formas de organizaci n social. Una obra monumental que cuestiona las ideas de pensadores como Jared Diamond, Francis Fukuyama y Yuval Noah Harari. Porque la suposici n de que las sociedades se vuelven menos igualitarias y libres a medida que se hacen m s complejas y civilizadas no es m s que un mito.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A groundbreaking and provocative perspective that dismantles the main evolutionary theories in history.

The Dawn of Everything challenges conventional theories of human evolution, arguing that early societies were far more complex and diverse than traditionally believed. Anthropologists David Graeber and David Wengrow reveal that the idea of primitive, violent ancestors was a product of 18th-century European conservatism, shaped in response to critiques from Indigenous intellectuals. They dismantle the notion that civilization required sacrificing freedoms or suppressing instincts, showing that archaeological and anthropological evidence does not support these claims.

This groundbreaking book redefines humanity's past, debunking long-held myths about the origins of cities, states, inequality, and democracy. It presents a dynamic view of prehistoric communities, demonstrating their adaptability and innovation. The Dawn of Everything challenges influential thinkers like Jared Diamond, Francis Fukuyama, and Yuval Noah Harari, arguing that the belief that societies become less equal and free as they grow more complex is nothing more than a myth.
