I'm reading a great book titled "Sapiens". It's a history of the development of the human race. One interesting thing is that it gives a plausible explanation of when and why different forms of deity and idol worship came into existence and the one time benefit this had on human development. it's backed up with fossil records and discussion of migration patterns.

I bought that for my husband, but then he started reading "Becoming Human" and liked it better.
