need some popular science or not so heavy books on the lives and evolution of the various species which come under the genus homo

i just recently started reading sapiens by harari and a few topics interested me need some book recommendations now i never really enjoyed biology in school way too much to memorize but the subject or atleast parts of it have always interested me like how the brain works and evolution and the animal kingdom. I am just into the 1st chapter and the author talks about the different types of humans if you will that used to exist but no longer do are there any non bio background friendly books on the subject? Preferably pop science type like once that stephen hawking, brain geene and richard dawkings have written on other subjects. but non heavy text books would be fine as well thanks for reading and replying
