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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Short_History_of_Nearly_Ever...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapiens:_A_Brief_History_of_Hu...

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.

Please add your suggestions

I wish I could. I'm also rather curious how "cave men" lived.
