From language to culture to cultural collision: the story of how humans invented history, from the Stone Age to the Virtual Age
Traveling across millennia, weaving the experiences and world views of cultures both extinct and extant, The Invention of Yesterday shows that the engine of history is not so much heroic (battles won), geographic (farmers thrive), or anthropogenic (humans change the planet) as it is narrative.
Many thousands of years ago, when we existed only as countless small autonomous bands of hunter-gatherers widely distributed through the wilderness, we began inventing stories–to organize for survival, to find purpose and meaning, to explain the unfathomable. Ultimately these became the basis for empires, civilizations, and cultures. And when various narratives began to collide and overlap, the encounters produced everything from confusion, chaos, and war to cultural efflorescence, religious awakenings, and intellectual breakthroughs.
Through vivid stories studded with insights, Tamim Ansary illuminates the world-historical consequences of the unique human capacity to invent and communicate abstract ideas. In doing so, he also explains our ever-more-intertwined present: the narratives now shaping us, the reasons we still battle one another, and the future we may yet create.

thank’s ihophats. Good to see some deep-time cultural investigation.
Also good to see that it may not have been us homo-sapians that did in the neanderthals. We have enough on our heads when it comes to extensions, that we not being responsible for taking out our nearest cousins is a bit of a relief.

Guess Anthro/Archeo studies must be my next binge, because -Customers (Um…well,ME) also downloaded “Dr. Space junk by Alice Gorman”.- Any similar recommendations would be welcome.
p.s.- While not trying to be a Neanderthal extinction denialist, I’ve always had a problem with notional homo sapiens “einsatzkommando”: We needed to await Hugo Boss to design proper uniforms for that job.

There’s a little Neanderthal in all of us - and Cylon, of course. Or is that just me?
