I'm looking for a book that explains human hierarchies in detail, from ancient times to modern times. Any recommendation?

found this from a quick google
>In this book, Benoit Dubreuil explores the creation and destruction of hierarchies in human evolution. Combining the methods of archaeology, anthropology, cognitive neuroscience and primatology, he offers a natural history of hierarchies from the point of view of both cultural and biological evolution. This volume explains why dominance hierarchies typical of primate societies disappeared in the human lineage and why the emergence of large-scale societies during the Neolithic period implied increased social differentiation, the creation of status hierarchies, and, eventually, political centralisation.

Thanks, I'll put it on the list, though I'm generally looking for information on the structure itself and how it functioned rather than the "why" of it.

I don't think you'll ever find that in a single volume, or even one complete work, you'd have to find a seperate book for each time and place I imagine.

Evola.

He speaks about it in most of his books and their relevance to paths to enlightenment.
