Abstract
This review essay analyses the work of Kent Flannery and Joyce Marcus [2012], presenting it as an ambitious new attempt to apply neo-evolutionist models to the processes of the emergence of hierarchies and states. The work is compared with the classic works of Elman Service [1962] and Morton Fried [1967]. Unlike other authors, it draws more on Fried’s tradition of dividing societies into egalitarian, rank, stratified and states. In particular, the concept of generations of states in a given region is innovative, offering different models for understanding time within a macrosocial analysis. The results of the analysis of the book are expressed in two tables, which are appended to the text.
