About This Episode
Human sacrifice is not a human universal. It emerges at a specific stage of human sociopolitical development. This episode explores the transition from nomadic foragers to the first states, where primitive egalitarianism was replaced by class oppression, and human sacrifice was employed to define social boundaries.
