The dawn of civilisation is the moment from which we believe everything could only get better. In his latest book though, Rutger Bregman argues this might not be the case. Since then we've innovated war, extreme poverty, food and water inequality, and we've become so densly populated that we harbour and spread diseases across the globe. The catalyst, he argues, is that we assume the worst in others, which effects our behaviour towards them.
