I've been reading The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by David Graeber, and David Wengrow. While I haven't finished it yet, it's an excellent analysis of how Human societies actually formed based on anthropological and archeological evidence.

Basically everything that Sapiens should have been, and they call out the lib version of Human history regularly.

Really upset that further books will likely never develop due to the death of Graeber.
