I just read "HumanKind" a nice book that paints a new tone regarding the history of humans, emphasizing that much of the "progress" attributed to the enlightenment is actually sourced from more ancient roots. We are wired, not as Thomas Hobbes claims us to be - nasty and brutish, but as more benevlonent, interdependent and supportive creatures.
Much of history does seem to be cast in the light of the narrator!
