Inequalities have not always existed, and, even more noteworthy, the path of their appearance is quite different from that taken by Europe and the Near and Middle East. This work of popularization emphasizes the importance of a universal approach towards the development of what are known as “primitive” societies; and by using the numerous examples of societies still in function and studied in the field by ethnologists and travellers, puts forward the case of egalitarian societies that have remained so over time, as well as showing the many different routes that have led to inequality.
