Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari charts the full arc of human history from the emergence of Homo sapiens in Africa 70,000 years ago to the scientific and industrial revolutions of the modern era. Harari argues that what distinguishes humans from all other animals is our ability to believe in shared fictions, money, nations, religions, corporations, and that it is these collective imaginations, not superior intelligence or strength, that allowed us to cooperate at scale and dominate the planet. The book covers the Cognitive Revolution, the Agricultural Revolution, the rise of empires and world religions, the birth of capitalism, and the moral dilemmas of biotechnology. Gripping, provocative, and intellectually exhilarating, Sapiens fundamentally changes how you see the world.
