Sapiens - A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari.
I've mentioned a couple of times, that as a budding youngish philosopher, I seek out books in order to find some truths.
I managed to stumble onto quite a bundle of truths in this book. The premise is evolutionary, so religions are considered to be a necessary fools errand. Not dissed at all, just mentioned.
I especially liked the section on happiness. It opened my eyes.
The writing is about the period from 70,000 years ago to today.
I highly recommend reading this to anyone who might have a misplaced importance assigned to themself.
