Am I the only one out there NOT impressed by books that deep dive into basic stuff like sleep or human origins? You don't need a book to know 80% of everything

Am I the only one out there NOT impressed by books that deep dive into basic stuff like sleep or human origins? You don't need a book to know 80% of everything there is to know on these subjects, just keep up with the news. I'm generally looking for the true outlier books now on topics I would least expect. Not the next "Guns Germs and Steel" rehash. Been there done that.
