Haven’t read the book and I’m not a historian, but I’m very dubious of any megahistories nowadays after reading so many criticisms of actual histoirans that point out how wrong the data generally is, and how badly the uncertainty is represented.
The AskHistorians subreddit is generally great for that (see this thread on Sapiens for example)
