Sample Book Insights:

#1 The first Americans were Beringians, who were fully modern in every genetic and physical sense. They came from the west, and as sea levels rose, some headed east into a land that no humans had ever seen before.

#2 The first Americans, the ancestors of today’s Americans, were able to succeed in their new land because they were able to gather together many different talents and insights around a campfire.

#3 The human niche is the particular way we interact with and find a way to make a living in our environment. We have evolved to be extremely adaptable, ingenious, and exploitative, which has allowed us to specialize in everything over the course of hundreds of thousands of years.

#4 The campfire is a tool that allows humans to exchange ideas, which is what makes us a superspecies. We are able to transcend our individual limitations, and focus on our trade while being sustained by the specialized labor of others.
