A short summary of Humans: From the Beginning:
How we (humans) became who we (humans) are. It's a long story.
My favorite quote from the book:
"At some stage, humans became able to look into their own thoughts about how they themselves would behave in such situations."
Questions to ponder while reading the book:
Did you realize Jericho was (12,000 years!) so old?
Did you realize how much collaboration was required for all of our (human) advancements?
My review of Humans: From the Beginning:
Well-researched, well-documented, and well-written.
Tons of details and plenty of footnotes.
Surprisingly readable, although this isn't a book for relaxing on the beach with.
