I would be able to discuss this book.
“The Dawn of Everything” is a history of humanity from the perspective that, basically, it isn’t all about the European thinkers. One salient point made by a Jesuit missionary in the 1600s in “new France” is that rather than punish the offender alone, all his/her clan is made responsible to make compensation for a crime. That puts responsibility for controlling bad behavior on the community. Maybe this is an idea we should accept and implement as a society. Someone once said “It takes a village.” So the village needs to get with the program.
