Radical Anthropology<p>In 'Before The Dawn of Everything', archaeologist <a href="https://c.im/tags/IanWatts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IanWatts</span></a> questions Graeber and Wengrow's premise that searching for original human society 'can only be a matter of myth-making'. He argues, for Graeber and Wengrow, a ‘single human “us” can only be inferred from ~30,000 years ago'. The actual stretch of time when we became all-singing, all-dancing, language-speaking symbolic culture-bearing humans -- in Africa-- is abandoned as unknowable. </p><p>The latest archaeological findings and their interpretation suggest pan-African habitual performance of collective ritual, with a uniform signature of red cosmetic usage, from ~160,000 years ago around the end of speciation, grounding symbolic culture’s first shared imaginaries. While <a href="https://c.im/tags/TheDawnofEverything" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheDawnofEverything</span></a> was clearly intended to be collectively empowering, it marginalises evolutionary theory, the archaeology of our speciation and African hunter-gatherer ethnography. Thereby, it resembles the decried ‘sapient paradox’! That is the fairly racist (!) idea that we got human bodies in Africa but had to reach Europe to show intelligence (or interesting archaeology!) </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archaeology</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/humanorigins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humanorigins</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Africa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Africa</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MiddleStoneAge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MiddleStoneAge</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/sapientparadox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sapientparadox</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/10.3828/hgr.2022.3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk</span><span class="invisible">/doi/10.3828/hgr.2022.3</span></a></p>
