The paper cites Graeber and Wingrow:

[Findings like this fort] can contribute to the critical re-appraisal of narratives of linear pathways to social change increasingly explored in both scientific and popular debates (e.g. Dan-Cohen Reference Dan-Cohen2020; Graeber & Wengrow Reference Graeber and Wengrow2021).

edit: on second read this comment came across to me as not supportive of the parent comment, which was not intended. I second the recommendation of reading Graeber and Wengrow, and was happy to see them directly cited.

“The Dawn of Everything” does include some lengthy polemical content. Even if the authors point of view isn’t to one’s own aesthetic or political sensibility: skip ahead, it is still worth reading the whole thing.
