He seems to have plagarised wholesale
From Jared Diamond. Particularly the first third of 'Guns, Germs and Steel'. Except that he portrays neolithic man with an appropriate moral disdain for nature needed to wrap liberal readers in the correct amount of shame and rage. Megafauna were hunted out it's true. Which lead to agriculture, animal domestication and a general ability to stockpile food, form communities and that thing we like to call civilization too.
Anyway in 20 million years the next intelligent species will be saying the same thing. Some thing it will be the Age of the Octopus. And his god will have 8 suckery tentacles.
