Oct 28, 2017 · The modern concept of society as objective entity first took shape in the 1820s. It involved the assumption that the human world was governed by an inherent mechanism of operation and change and that human subjects were therefore not natural, autonomous, and timeless individuals, but the historical products of a certain state of civilization.

Ice Age hunters in Siberia constructed large circular buildings from mammoth bones. At Göbekli Tepe, a 9,000 year old site in Turkey, hunter-gatherers hoisted megaliths to construct what may be the world’s “first human-built holy place.” In Ukraine, 4,000 year-old cities show little evidence of hierarchy or centralized control. And in modern times,...
In the 19th-century, anthropologists like Lewis Henry Morgan categorized human social evolution into three stages: savagery, barbarism and civilization. These correspond to hunting and gathering, farming and urban life, respectively. These so-called “stage models” incorrectly view social evolution as a steady march of progress toward civilized life...
One assumption was that small bands consist of related individuals. In fact, band societies consist of mostly unrelated individuals. And anthropologists now know that hunter-gatherer bands are not closed social units. Rather, they maintain extensive social ties across space and time and sometimes assemble in large groups. Hunter-gatherers are profo...
Human societies have generally become larger-scale and more complex over time. Popular accountstypically implicate farming in kick-starting the path to “civilization” and inequality. But the shift to farming was not a single event or a simple linear process. There are many paths toward social complexity and inequality. The Dawn of Everything, along...
Social complexity emerged among hunter-gatherer populations living in resource-rich areas like southern Franceand the Pacific Northwest Coast of the United States and Canada. So rich were the salmon runs of the Pacific Northwest Coast, Indigenous peoples could sustain themselves on wild foods while living a sedentary life, even evolving complex hie...
Collective hunting is another pathway toward social complexity. In North America, hunters cooperated to trap pronghorn antelope, sheep, elk and caribou. At “buffalo jumps,” ancient Indigenous hunters drove bison over cliff sides by the hundreds. This feat likely required, and fed, several hundred people. But these examples represent seasonal events...

One way sociology achieves a more complete understanding of social reality is through its focus on the importance of the social forces affecting our behavior, attitudes, and life chances. This focus involves an emphasis on social structure, the social patterns through which a society is organized.
History of modern society was understood as the dynamic interplay of autonomous subsystems, mainly economy, culture, and power (‘Herrschaft’). Thus the history of processes and structures was given priority over the history of political events, of individuals or symbolic (cultural) representations.
