Categories of bands, tribes, chiefdoms, and states are often presented as an evolutionary trajectory, wherein human societies inevitably go through this linear progression from the simple egalitarian band to the complex hierarchical state, with the degree of farming being tied to the degree of social inequality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the idea of an agricultural revolution is something of a myth, according to Graeber and Wengrow. They point out that there&#8217;s evidence that people were cultivating crops since at least 10,000 BC, while major state-level societies didn&#8217;t happen until long after that. Also, they say, some societies have farmed and never become hierarchical states. For example, \u00c7atalh\u00f6y\u00fck is an ancient site in Turkey that was settled around 7,400 BC and was occupied for around 1,500 years. Archaeological remains tell us that this community was engaged in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-is-foraging-meaning\/\">foraging<\/a> as well as raising animals and farming, and it doesn\u2019t appear that there were any social distinctions in rank, including between men and women.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: The argument Graeber and Wengrow put forth here doesn\u2019t make the distinction between what anthropologists call <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/primitive-culture\/Horticultural-societies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>horticulture<\/em><\/a> versus <em>agriculture<\/em>. Anthropologists are aware that people were farming long before what\u2019s called the agricultural revolution\u2014it\u2019s <em>large-scale intensive farming<\/em> that\u2019s associated with the revolution and the subsequent hierarchies. A society like \u00c7atalh\u00f6y\u00fck would be considered horticultural, which actually <em>isn\u2019t <\/em>conventionally <em>a<\/em>ssociated with a high degree of inequality. On this point, the authors seem to be arguing against a claim that isn\u2019t being made.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Graeber and Wengrow point out that there were non-agricultural societies that had the concept of private property, such as strict territorial boundaries, as well as the notion of the sacred, which can translate to \u201cthis is mine and you can\u2019t have it.\u201d And they point out there have been many farming societies that understood all land as communally owned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the authors suggest that farming allows for the <em>possibility<\/em> of a hierarchical state to emerge, and it is conducive to notions of private property, but it doesn&#8217;t make these things inevitable, nor does it <em>cause<\/em> them to happen. Some cultures have intentionally chosen not to cultivate crops, and some have moved back and forth between farming and foraging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: It could be argued that the authors\u2019 accounts of ranked foraging societies are exceptions, not the rule, and that those are examples of \u201ccomplex foragers.\u201d Such societies became complex and ranked because they had a steady, abundant source of wild food. For example, those who lived near salmon-rich rivers were able to harvest and store a surplus of fish, which served the same purpose as farming. Anthropologists acknowledge that such groups exist. Graeber and Wengrow claim they\u2019re more common than what could be considered exceptions to the rule, but <a href=\"https:\/\/climateandcapitalism.com\/2021\/12\/17\/the-dawn-of-everything-gets-human-history-wrong\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">some anthropologists disagree<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did the adoption of agriculture truly result in a societal revolution?
