Both probably too long for the poors with no time to enjoy literature -

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7510747
Sapiens – A Brief History of Humankind
https://www.ynharari.com/book/sapiens-2
Or shorter and way more dramatic
The Invention of Heterosexuality

!historychads thoughts on Yuval Noah Harari? I read Sapiens 6 years ago and I remember the first part he was all like “the agricultural revolution and it's consequences…”
He's definitely a reddity/tech bro type author.

Any macrohistory book is useless because anyone can write that shit. It's just an expanded Wikipedia entry.

The mosquito book looks unironically interesting! I was reading Ulysses S Grants memoir which was pretty much just a book about troop movements in battlefields, but an interesting bit was about how the american troops in the US Mexico war had to time their advances due to mosquito plagues giving everyone vomito at certain points in the year.
