Ask HN: Good Books on the History of Mankind?

Sapiens is a bait-and-switch. It starts out great promising at least a
hypothetical account of early man, then begs off saying 30,000 years
is too long ago, and burns 300 pages on essentially wokeism.
Bryson's book is great, but it's wide-ranging pop sci, not specifically about early man.

Please add your suggestions
I wish I could. I'm also rather curious how "cave men" lived.
