Origin Story: A Big History of Everything by David Christian

4.0

This book does exactly what it says on the cover, condenses down the major historical elements of our known history and presents them in an easy to understand format. I really enjoyed the take Christian took on this, it was so well researched and put together. I did find some of the science lingo a bit troubling at times, but it's all explained so anyone with some basic understanding can follow the story along.

Personally, I preferred to switch between an audiobook of this and the physical copy. While I did enjoy this, reading it for too long caused me to zone out a little, so switching to the audio book kept me happily engaged.
