Twitter was David’s public platform and tools for practicing a new language – clear and understandable for everyone, it was a space where he made friends and enemies.

@politicsanth @davidwengrow @MaryTracy No the book is not mainly about the Upper Paleolithic and Dawn is a gradual process

@SirPaulHartley @davidwengrow well it was originally supposed to be spring 2021 but we were a few months late with the mss. Hoping it won’t be delayed overmuch.

ok everybody, prepare yourself for at least 9 months of annoying teasers from me & .@davidwengrow as we sit on our hands waiting for #TheDawnOfEverything to come out. Also do you think it we make a hashtag of the name it’ll seem fait accompli & they’ll let us use it?

@geofffhughes @davidwengrow @dorshilton @mnvrsngh alas I think you have a lot in common with almost everyone in that respect

best section heading so far in the upcoming .@davidwengrow book #TheDawnOfEverything 4.6in which we dispose of one particularly silly argument that foragers who settle in territories that lend themselves well to foraging are somehow unusual

@geofffhughes @davidwengrow @dorshilton @mnvrsngh on the other hand, turns out the archaeological evidence suggests that Hocart, perhaps completely by accident, got it right

@geofffhughes @davidwengrow @dorshilton @mnvrsngh I have the Dumontian takedown published like four times now and it doesn’t seem to impress scholars much (at least they never cite it) so tbh I kind of gave up on flogging away at it. I think I mention it somewhere.

@geofffhughes @davidwengrow @dorshilton @mnvrsngh someone beat you to it. But things that look like royal burials go back at least 30k years. They probably aren’t royal in the Calusa sense, but theatrical seasonal kings, but it still shows the accustomed narrative needs massive revamping
