Two recent books:

Mixed Harvest: Stories from the Human Past came out in late 2019. In unforgettable stories of the human journey, a combination of compelling storytelling and well-researched archaeology underscore an excavation into the deep past of human development and its consequences. Through a first encounter between a Neanderthal woman and the Modern Human to the emergence and destruction of the world’s first cities, Mixed Harvest tells the tale of the Neolithic Revolution, also called the (First) Agricultural Revolution, the most significant event since modern humans emerged. Rob Swigart’s latest work humanizes the rapid transition to agriculture and pastoralism with a grounding in the archaeological record.

Quotes by Rob Swigart (?)

“conservative or liberal, hawk or dove, communist or fascist, Apollonian or Dionysian, Classical or Romantic, intuitive or rational – these two groups see the world in completely different ways, as if they speak different languages. The problem is they both believe it’s the same language because the words are the same. But even the words mean different things to different people at different times. The major problem is they both think they’re right.”
― Rob Swigart, The Delphi Agenda
