Humans: From the Beginning - From the First Apes to the First Cities - Christopher Seddon

A short summary of Humans: From the Beginning:

How we (humans) became who we (humans) are. It's a long story.

"At some stage, humans became able to look into their own thoughts about how they themselves would behave in such situations."

Did you realize Jericho was (12,000 years!) so old?

Did you realize how much collaboration was required for all of our (human) advancements?

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.
