Description: For generations we've been taught a tidy arc of human progress: a march from primitive ancestors to Homo sapiens, from foraging bands to farming villages, from villages to cities, states, and empires. It's a narrative that feels intuitive, and yet it obscures far more than it reveals. Humans overturns this familiar storyline, offering a truly global history that spans all continents and the full seven-million-year sweep of our past.
