I’m not even a quarter ways through this one but it’s been nothing but excellent thus far.
This stood out to me.
Our first step of controlling a force of nature is what propelled us through the pyramid of dominance.

There are a lot of salient ideas in that motherfucking volume right there bitch.

Fire to cook meat allowed us to gain more nutrients from our food which helped our brain development etc etc. Vegans are useless. Moving on.

The next one, homo Deus is equally interesting as well

Yes the overall message of how liberal humanism is a threat to it self really blew my mind!

It is good thought fodder

Anything like “The Ascent of Man?”

I’m not sure I haven’t read that one, will look into it though, thanks!

I have bad news about the last 3/4 of the book. We basically kill each other over selfishness and stupid shit. The ending is really sad.
GuidedGoat
Seems about par though, Greed probably plays a major role? Biggest flaw in us if ya ask me.

I get pretty turned off when topics go too close to praising humans for the ways theyre above everything else.

100% second this recommendation

If this is up your ally, Guns, Germs, and Steel. By Jared Diamond is incredible. Also a good alternative theory to racism.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Great book, I absolutely loved it. Currently reading First Peoples in A New World by David Meltzer. About people in the ice age coming to

North America, how they got there etc. Not too far in but it's been a great read as well this far
Antrazit
I likes it too, but make no.mistake, he claims a lot of shit to be given that we dont really know about
Valavuo
That's how most "pop-science" books are, but they're often fun and educational nonetheless.
Antrazit
And that's cool, I just get annoyed when everybody and their mother who read that book are now experts in evolution and humanity
Valavuo
Yeah, that happens too often
