Sapiens: A Brief History of Mankind
Author: Yuval Noah Harari
Soft cover. Good condition
Sapiens: A Brief History of Mankind by Yuval Noah Harari surveys the history of the human species from the emergence of Homo sapiens in prehistoric Africa to the modern technological age, arguing that our dominance stems largely from our unique capacity for shared myths and collective belief. Harari divides history into major revolutions—the Cognitive, Agricultural, and Scientific—showing how language, religion, money, nations, and corporations function as powerful shared stories that enable large-scale cooperation. He examines how agriculture reshaped societies but often worsened individual lives, how empires and religions unified diverse peoples, and how science and capitalism accelerated change while raising new ethical questions. The book blends history, biology, anthropology, and philosophy to challenge common assumptions about progress, happiness, and the future of humanity.
