Thanks, Maurits! The @anthropology.net team did a great explainer which you can listen to in about ten minutes www.anthropology.net/p/inequality... They did a couple of the other papers from the SF too...

The paper I led on looks at how inequality affects settlement longevity. More unequal sites last longer, especially in more complex societies with cities and states. That sounds depressing, but we find no causal link between inequality and duration - we can reduce inequality without causing collapse
