David Frum: I think it was the best book I've read this year. The David's, as we call them, take aim at you and the other big history writers for perpetuating a kind of false origin story. They make the case that in contrast, hunter gatherers as it existed before the coming of agriculture was one of bold social experiments resembling a carnival parade of political forms.
