Review Items

A Brief History of Humankind is a book bound to appear on a large number of coffee tables and favorite lists, and be picked up even by those who normally would not find the time for reading. It will certainly not be the next A Brief History of Time, which is often named as the world's top unfinished popular bestseller.

This book is a superficial gloss on human history. Nice try but it excludes too much subject matter in favor of an overarching conceptual view to be deeply interesting.

This book had changed my life, the way I think, the way I precept the world. I think it should be an obligatory book for everyone on this planet.

Conclusion

The book is certainly biased and is written to support the main purpose of the writer to create an 'conceptual view'.
