Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind explores the history of Homo sapiens, from our Stone Age origins to the present day. Harari examines how our species rose to dominance through cognitive, agricultural, and scientific revolutions. He delves into our capacity for complex language and storytelling, which enabled large-scale cooperation and the creation of lasting institutions. The book explores the forces that have shaped human history, including money, empires, and religion. It prompts us to consider the implications of our past actions on the future of humanity and the planet. Sapiens is a thought-provoking examination of what it means to be human and our role in the world.
