I’m taking keen interest in what makes humans the way we are including anthropology and neuroscience and am a fan of books such as Sapiens or Factfulness. The Social Leap is outstanding. Solid science and fantastic storytelling. Easy to follow and FULL of insights I’ve not come across before as well as well framed facts I’ve known about. This book prompts me to make a number of adjustments in my life which are perfect for the New Year resolutions and my goals for 2019 (it’s 4th January when I’m writing this). Highly recommended book for all curious people out there

Wow!! I learned more than in the last decade.

Very interesting and easy for someone with no prior knowledge. Lots of good examples and relates our ancestors lives to ours, making it very understandable.

This is a thought provoking, deep and insightful book. It remains accessible and engaging throughout and builds a very clear and well thought out position that is both immediately relevant to our society today and reflective of our evolutionary past. I will be buying a hard copy so I can dip in and out of this brilliant work again and again.

The delivery was perfect in so much as I have nothing to say about it. I would happily listen to this voice artist for hours without giving it any thought.

Fascinating from start to finish.
