Great book! Worth buying and reading more than once. There's a fair bit of non-human history (e.g., a good chunk on geology and the politics of the science societies).
His other book "At Home" is more human-y with a focus on residential life over the centuries.

Glad to help! Yeah, it's a fun read and gives you lots of material to look smart at the next party you attend.
