Hey gang, looking for some good reccs but want to give you some parameters. About 6 months ago I lost my appreciation for fiction. I'm sure its temporary but that means most of my to-read stack is on the outs.
Can you suggest me non-fiction along these lines:
no biographies or self help. ugh
History is good, but along the lines of mysteries explained would be better.
Also like anthropology/human development. Especially our evolution vs. our current living environment examination.
Thanks you all in advance for your input.

We Carry Their Bones was written by a forensic anthropologist about her struggle to locate, identify, and return to family the bodies buried at the infamous Dozier “reform” school. It’s got layers of mystery and history together that I think you’ll like.
