The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies? is a 2012 popular science book by American intellectual Jared Diamond. It explores what people living in the Western world can learn from traditional societies, including differing approaches to conflict resolution, treatment of the elderly, childcare, the benefits of multilingualism and a lower salt intake.
Very interesting book, I learned a lot. Not convinced lessons from early societies are applicable to ours, except that at least they encourage us to "think out of the box". I would have liked to know what drove the choice of topics (chapters) in the book, and what other life areas could be contrasted with ours.
