Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical breakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural, and Scientific Revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, and economics, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. This provocative book challenges everything we thought we knew about being human, including our shared myths, our collective actions, and our future evolution.
