A Short History of Man: Progress and Decline

1.1. The Setting: History

A Short History of Man by Hans-Hermann Hoppe
Hans-Hermann Hoppe

Hoppe begins human history only 50,000 years ago, when “anatomically modern man” had evolved into “behaviorally modern man.” This is an eminently reasonable starting point, too. From Chapter 1, "On the Origin of Private Property and the Family". Narrated by Millian Quinteros.
