Historian Ian Morris claimed that hunters-gatherers lived by 1,10 US dollars per day. What the fuck does that supposed to mean? He was sharply criticized by Graeber/Wengrow in The Dawn of Everything. Now Morris has reviewed the same book in American Journal of Archaeology, and defends himself by saying he simply uses "the commonest metric in the social sciences". However he still has a lot of praise for The Dawn of Everything.
