The story of how our ancestors made the first tentative steps towards becoming human, how we lost our fur but gained language, fire and tools, and how we strode out of Africa, invented farming and cities and ultimately created modern civilisation. Where did we come from? Where are we going? Homo sapiens is the most successful, the most widespread and the most influential species ever to walk the Earth.

I am a huge fan of the missing links history of extincted archaic human ancestors. If you haven't read it, Svante Paabo's Neanderthal Man: In Search of Lost Genomes (also available on audible) is my favorite book hands down. Now if you have read it and want more, this book really give you a lot of detail to chew over.
The thing about human evolutionary biology research is that its moving so far with ancient DNA analysis, books that's 10 or even 5 years old are out of date. This book will give you a good overall picture on what scientists and anthropologists are working on from different angles and different tools. Books like Before the Dawn, Cro-magnon by Brian Fagaan are written from a writer's point of view. I feel they don't have enough hard stuff for me personally.
If you have finish this book and still want more, I recommend UCTV/CARTA's youtube channel.
