Background
Published in September of 2019, Humankind is a book about where humans came from and who they really are.
My Thoughts
An interesting read, the book came to me from my Aunt. Rutger Bregman’s style leads you down a road of ideas and pulls the rug out from under you at the last moment to make his point. He is dutch which makes sense why there are a lot of socialist assumptions throughout the book.
The underlying ideas is that people are basically good. I liked that idea and the examples given…
Recommendation
I’ve found myself recommending this book to a few select people. For example, he does make a compelling argument for social learning with which a co-worker was having trouble. However, it isn’t for everyone and isn’t a light read.
