>>11415783/lit will probably roast me, but i really liked a brief history of humankind

Just received this book as a birthday present. I'm about 50 pages in and it's pretty interesting. Basically a pop anthropology book. I haven't read anything I didn't already know about the Paleolithic era but somehow it's holding my attention.

Anyone else read it? What did you think?
Personally, it blows my mind to imagine sharing the earth with 5 other species of the Homo genus at once, as was the case 100,000 years ago.

Widely regarded as the greatest book of the 21st century, and undisputed as the definitive text on what it means to be a living organism.

Written by a /lit/izen and ripe with subtle references to 4chan in-jokes.

If you are looking for a book written by an ape I would suggest Chinua Achebe's 'Things Fall Apart'.
