Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari is a must-read book for anyone interested in history, anthropology, or philosophy. Mr.Harari takes readers on a captivating journey through the history of our species, from the emergence of Homo Sapiens in Africa to the present day.

Mr. Harari’s skills in combining anthropology, biology, history, and philosophy to construct a compelling and coherent narrative of our past and present sets this book apart from other works on the same subject. He challenges some of our most cherished beliefs about ourselves, exhibiting how the agricultural revolution, which led to the rise of civilization, was not necessarily a good thing for humanity. Instead, it led to a decrease in our overall health, increased inequality, and the creation of oppressive political systems.

Mr. Harari also makes the thought-provoking argument that human beings are not necessarily the most important species on the planet. He recommends that we view the world through a human-centric lens, which can blind us to the needs and desires of other species. He argues that humans have become a dominant species, able to reshape the environment and other species to suit our needs. However, he also cautions that this power comes with significant responsibilities, and we need to be careful in how we wield it. If we want to build a sustainable future for ourselves and the planet, we need to start thinking more holistically about the world around us.

One of the most impressive aspects of the book is how Mr.Harari presents complex ideas in an accessible and engaging way. Despite the weighty subject matter, Sapiens is a pleasure to read.

Overall, Sapiens is a fantastic book that offers a deep and insightful perspective on human history. Mr.Harari’s writing is accessible and engaging, presenting complex ideas clearly and concisely. This book is highly recommended for anyone who wants better to understand our species and our place in the world.
