The 'first there was egalitarian hunter gatherers and then agriculture was discovered and there were cities and hierarchical class inequality' story is false
Thank you very much for this! Amazing stuff. I've got to read more of The Dawn of Everything. I've been reading an historical novel, The Old American, in which the protagonist is the son of Metacomet who was sold into slavery in Bermuda at the end of King Philip's War in 1676 . Metacomet did have a son (name unknown?), who was 9 years old in 1676. The author invents a name for him and a biography, in which he escapes from slavery , travels to Europe, and ends up in French Canada in old age.. I've go to get back to reading the book.
The idea that the humans are the result of evolution from a less well organized species who managed to get by through hunter-gathering methods, has not found a satisfactory replacement theory. It was a natural result for nomadic and local farming ways to follow from this, so if there is another better explanation for ourselves in society kindly come out with it in simple terms as expressed in this previous sentence, or shut up!

You obviously have ignored the my sentence’s inclusion of the word egalitarian and the phrase class inequality, so your comment is frankly absurd.
