The Invention of Yesterday: A 50,000-Year History of Human Culture, Conflict, and Connection
Description
This sweeping history traces the development of human culture across 50,000 years, exploring how communities, technologies, belief systems, and political structures have shaped the world we inhabit today. Moving from prehistoric societies to the rise of civilizations and the increasingly interconnected modern age, it examines the forces that drive cooperation, conflict, innovation, and social change. With an emphasis on the stories and networks that connect seemingly distant peoples and eras, the book offers an accessible, thought-provoking perspective on humanity’s shared past—and on how our understanding of history is continually constructed.
