Book description
The book Before War will change how its readers look at the world -- by exposing the female roots of Western civilization. It draws on the evidence from anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, primatology, and the shocking new genetics data, to tell the story of Western civilization.For readers of Sapiens and The Dawn of Everything, this is about another way that our European ancestors lived, without violence, sexual shame, or social inequality. It's the story of a story that was buried and re-discovered again and again, and is once again being told, thanks to the new science of genetics. It's the story of the first rape, genocide and colonization in 3500 BCE, and of the peaceful, egalitarian people who lived before. It's about the most controversial academic debate of all time, which has raged for 250 years. It's a funny, sexy take on some heavy topics.It's not about blaming men. It's about standing together against an institution that harms us all.Are you interested in your Eurasian ancestors, in the truth about our ancient past, or in the origins of social inequality? Do you want practical solutions for how we can save the world, or how you can heal from harmful belief systems? It's time for a paradigm shift!

Audiobooks on this app have expanded my horizons and introduced me to new ideas. The sound quality is excellent. It feels like Iβm in the story. This audiobook performed its function without excelling. The narrator's delivery was straightforward and easy to follow, though lacking in dramatic flair. The recording quality was decent with only occasional minor inconsistencies in volume. An acceptable but forgettable listening experience. An acceptable audiobook that met basic expectations. No complaints about quality but nothing remarkable either. Would listen to this narrator again but wouldn't seek them out.
