Quotes by David Wengrow (?)

“Civilizations, from the perspective of history, are shown to be the outcome of mixtures and borrowings, often of quite arbitrary things, but always on a prodigious scale.”
― David Wengrow, What Makes Civilization?: The Ancient Near East and the Future of the West

“Antiquity and modernity are cut from the same cloth. That is to say, our sense of things being ‘ancient’ is produced—both historically and in practice—by the sense that we ourselves are ‘modern’.”
― David Wengrow, What Makes Civilization?: The Ancient Near East and the Future of the West

“«Las sociedades —explicaba Mauss— viven de tomar prestado unas de otras, pero se definen a sí mismas más por sus rechazos a los préstamos que por su aceptación.»”
― David Wengrow, El amanecer de todo: Una nueva historia de la humanidad
