Forget the separate histories of nations. There is only one human story. In The Invention of Yesterday, Tamim Ansary weaves 50,000 years of culture, conflict, and connection into a single, spellbinding narrative. He reveals how scattered bands of humans became a complex global web, all driven by the powerful stories we told ourselves about who we are. This isn't just another history of the world; it’s the biography of us all, explaining how our invented pasts forged our interconnected present.
