Here is a list of some of the books/papers from
anthropologists/archaeologists that I am aware of on the topics of egalitarianism
and it’s opposite hierarchy and control by the Power Elite. The ones marked
with an * are my personal favorites and might be ones to start with, and those
marked + I have, but have yet to read. I hope they help in your quest to
understand the downfall of man (and woman if she keeps following and being
dominated by him).
