Archaeological Study Challenges Link Between Agriculture and Immediate Wealth Inequality
A new study using housing size as a proxy for wealth in over 1,000 archaeological sites spanning 10,000 years reveals that significant wealth inequality emerged far later than previously thought, often centuries or millennia after the adoption of agriculture, challenging the traditional view.
