I would suggest these 2 as a good place to start reading.

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.
