Just started reading "Sapiens, A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari which explores the emergence of homo sapiens and their rise to dominance over not just the Neanderthals and Denisovans etc. He goes on to hypothesize how this happened from a brain development as well a personality characteristic perspective(intolerance for "The Other"). I can see this will evolve and go onto explaining why the world is in the state that it is. It also delves into belief systems not just limited to religious ones but also legal frameworks. This book has been out since 2015, but I finally bought it. I'm glad I did.
