This "wasn't for me". It started out ok but was very long and often meandering. The parts about exploring the origins of inequality etc. were promising but then the book really just settled into exhaustive detail on esoteric clans, tribes and glancing ideas of the possible paths for development of civilized society. Its fine to challenge the current beliefs on some social constructs but to merely postulate what else it could have been without any compelling evidence to support this new direction was disappointing. "But also could have been..." was a common phrase, These evidence-less challenges are best left for brady and fireplace times. The ending chapters where only more aimless, Overladen with unnecessary details of numerous native American cultures that collectively lost it way to what the story was expected to tell. I lost 23 hours of my reading life. Sorry
