DESCRIPTION:David Wengrow\, DPhil.\nProfessor of Comparative Archaeology\n\
 nInstitute of Archaeology\nUniversity College London\n\n \n\nMy Distinguis
 hed Lecture offers an analysis of a contemporary myth: our myth of the “
 origins of inequality.” How did the broad sweep of human history first c
 ome to be conceptualised in this way? Why is it so often assumed that a ti
 me before social inequality and political awareness existed? Or that civil
 ization\, complexity\, and scale come naturally at the price of human free
 doms? The answers are often surprising\, and highlight the role of archaeo
 logy and anthropology as touchstones of the modern political imagination.
