One of the most important things you will ever read

...may be an article in the newest issue of The Atlantic, a link to which I have included below:

"Human History Gets A Rewrite"

If it is not one of the most important things you will ever read, it certainly qualifies as one of the most fascinating. It is an excellent review by William Deresiewicz of a new book, The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by the team of anthropologist David Graeber and archaeologist David Wengrow. If it sounds dry as dust, it isn't; at least the review isn't. I can't speak for the book itself.

Kylie Tai in the suburbs of Sydney, Australia, calls her blog "eclectica" but I think my blog is a fairly eclectic conglomeration of topics as well.

But even as I say it I recall that my mother often said, "Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back."

Happy reading. I think you'll be pleased that I brought the article to your attention.

At the very least, it provides food for thought.
