Everything You've Been Told About Human Nature Is Wrong
Manage episode 306518196 series 2865379
We're told that human nature is hardwired to need authority and hierarchy, and that we're driven by selfishness and greed. But is that really true? In a new book by David Wengrow and the late great David Graeber - THE DAWN OF EVERYTHING - the standard narrative about human history is challenged. Wengrow explains why it's not true that as human society gets more complicated there's a need for more top down control - and what our history tells us about our future.
