I enjoyed reading Sapiens a lot, but I found that The Dawn of Everything was a much more compelling look at out development as a social species that defines our own world through collective action

A pretty vague, boring mix of the two that didn’t introduce anything new and oversimplified human history while ignoring human history.

Disclaimer: I feel asleep multiple times trying to read it after recommendations and references to it so I never finished it.

His theory that homo sapiens and only homo sapiens suddenly developed language 70,000 years ago has no supporting evidence. And his assertion that civilized farmers were worse off than nomadic hunters is questionable at best.
