Sample Book Insights:

#1 It is difficult to answer when exactly ‘human history’ began. Some argue that the domestication of animals was a fundamental development that significantly changed the course of things, but other important developments have nothing to do with animals, plants, or fighting men.

#2 Morris has done a lot of research to try to figure out which developments are the most important, and he has concluded that none of them have mattered much compared to something else that bent the curve of human history like nothing before or since: social development.

#3 The Industrial Revolution was the most important period of transformation in world history, as it was the first time that humanity’s progress was driven primarily by technological innovation.

#4 The second machine age is doing for mental power what the steam engine and its descendants did for muscle power. It is allowing us to blow past previous limitations and enter new territory.
