LOL

‘got a job at the London School of Economics’

That’s what produced Kissinger and Soros.

Can you say GLOBALIST.

[MarvinStinson]

blazingly original, stunningly wide-ranging, impossibly well read—but also as an organizer and intellectual leader of the activist left on both sides of the Atlantic, credited, among other things, with helping launch the Occupy movement and coin its slogan, “We are the 99 percent.”

[SunkenCiv]

Oh, sorry, misunderstood.

[MarvinStinson]

‘Graeber, a committed anarchist’

[SunkenCiv]

And a genius, sez the writer.

[MarvinStinson]

And a genius, sez the left wing Atlantic’s left wing writer..

Thanks Sunk.
Ordered the pre-release Audible.
Graham Hancock has sparked my interest in pre-Younger Dryass. Just ain’t a lot out there.

...That evidence and more—from the Ice Age, from later Eurasian and Native North American groups—demonstrate, according to Graeber and Wengrow, that hunter-gatherer societies were far more complex, and more varied, than we have imagined.

It’s the height of arrogance by academia to consider those before us as ignorant rubes.

Culturally not being western does not by default mean stupid.

Not being technologically advanced as we are does not mean they were stupid either.

The idiots are the archeologists who make those baseless assumptions.

[Does so]

Try searching with "Younger Dryas".

"Dryass" is sumpin' else. ;)

“None of these groups, as far as we have reason to believe, resembled the simple savages of popular imagination, unselfconscious innocents who dwelt within a kind of eternal present or cyclical dreamtime, waiting for the Western hand to wake them up and fling them into...”

Note the leftist strawman.

SunkenCiv, can you tell us the title and author of the book that is discussed in the article?

[hinckley buzzard]

Interesting article but written from a remarkably shallow point of view. What we might expect from an english teacher who didn’t get tenure, and never studied anthropology.

Try this:

It's a revision of Hapgood's earlier Earth's Shifting Crust to which THE Albert Einstein wrote the forward.

For the record, here is the first paragraph of Einstein's Forward:
