Really interesting and well-written book. Covers a host of topics and questions that fall under the overarching topic of the biological and cultural evolution of our species. If you liked 'Sapiens' by Yuval Noah Harari, you'll like this (and vice versa). While 'Sapiens' was more of a grand narrative focused on a few large topics, this book is arranged in a large number of short 2-6 page chapters, each addressing one specific topic/question. The chapters are arranged well with related topics clustered together. I highly recommend this book to anyone.
