The WEIRDest People in the World
How the West Became Psychologically Peculiar and Particularly Prosperous
Joseph Heinrich
Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic
A novel (to me) and (slightly) interesting book, but 489 pages of main text and 167 pages of notes and bibliography is more than my multiply-focused interest can sustain. I am too WEIRD to find time to do more than skim this book, but I wouldn't mind being nattered at by kind cover-to-cover readers. I "dropped out" around page 130, other pressing demands on my time.

The most important point is that academic "human psychology" gathers data from WEIRD college students (easy and cheap), not the world (complex, difficult, expensive).
