Sapiens, by historian Yuval Noah Harari, plays pretty fast and loose with the science. The Dawn of Everything by anthropologist David Graeber and archaeologist David Wengrow has a similar vibe with better references - they still make a lot of speculations, but they're explicit about when they're doing so.
