Danger-Mouse Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 I don't know if anyone here watches Black Pigeon Speaks on YT. If you don't then you might want to give a couple of his videos a try. He has some interesting viewpoints and makes very measured content. This is his latest.

Scully Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 If you want an insight into how we got to where we are as a species ( homo sapiens ) and how the earth in many ways has shaped us rather than the other way round, as many believe; how and why we developed empires and a myriad of cultures and how those empires and cultures have and will see us grow closer and closer as a species, then you may be interested in 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Mankind' by Yuval Noah Harari. Am enjoying it immensely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
