[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not quite sure what you mean.  Would 1491 and 1493 match what you’re looking for?  They Came Before Columbus?  Civilization or Barbarism — an Authentic Anthropology?  Black Athena?

thank you - all of these titles seem interesting, I'll look them up on Amazon. Yes, the topic in my OP is more a general idea of what I was interested in.[/quote]

Great!  Most of the books that I would suggest are less history and more, I'd guess, sociology.  I haven't read them yet, but many people have recommended that I read
Guns, Germs and Steel and other books by Jared Diamond.  A long ago favorite:  A Country of Strangers -- Blacks and Whites in America by David Shipler, is probably going to seem very dated, but it also does an excellent job of showing the impact of very different experiences to the point of creating very different realities, that then become the contexts for pretty much everything.  The Singing Neanderthals might also be a good fit.

If, as you look them up, some of these seem interesting, come back and post what types of books and authors seem close to what you're seeking.
