I switched newspapers when I noticed that every time my newspaper write about something I actually knew about, they wrote garbage.

Sapiens does present some really powerful ideas, though. I enjoyed it a lot, but the book clearly glosses over a lot of details. Then again, it tries to tackle a ridiculously big scope, so I can see how it can't get into all of the details. I still consider it a worthy read despite its shortcomings. But read it more for the ideas than for the facts.

Isn't the "idea" a very eurocentric understanding of progress and how colonialism is actually good because it civilized the colonized? But I'm sure there is more to the book than that
