Tam's Reviews > The Invention of Yesterday: A 50,000-Year History of Human Culture, Conflict, and Connection

Great great writing. This book discusses one main task of human: the construction of meanings for their life. There are many narratives that move around, evolve, or disappear throughout time. Even though Ansary is extremely knowledgeable, his summary of different narratives is undoubtedly has to be simplified quite a bit. The book tends towards painting big pictures, and so it's up to you to decide whether it fits your taste.
