#JustFinished Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
I feel like he spent too much time working at being cutesy and not enough at internal consistency. It was an amusing book, however. Taken as a light historical fiction about the run-up to modern life, it’s good enough.
One example of the issues with the book follows:
He sets up the straw man of biological essentialism, then knocks it down with social consctructs.

He definitely used an odd definition of religion. However, having just left Texas and living there during part of a rise of ChristoFascism, I have a hard time seeing any positive in religion right now.
