The very best book I read this year is “From Animals into Gods: A Brief History of Humankind” by Yuval Noah Harari. It was so good that I purchased several copies to give to friends.
I’m always fascinated by the development of humanity and the mysteries, at least to me, of how we became able to master fire, domesticate animals, forge metals and the many things the ancients did to create our civilization.
This book attempts to answer many of these questions and does so in a very readable and intelligent manner. Highly recommended.
