Wengrow / Graeber 84: "The reason archaeological evidence from Europe is so rich is that European governments tend to be rich"
"With each year that passes, new evidence accumulates for early behavioural complexity elsewhere: not just Africa, but also the Arabian Peninsula, Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent [...] a cave site on the coast of Kenya called Panga ya Saidi is yielding evidence of shell beads and worked pigments stretching back 60,000 years; and research on the islands of Borneo and Sulawesi is opening vistas on to an unsuspected world of cave art, many thousnds of years older than the famous images of Lascaux and Altamira"
