Product Description
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari presents a sweeping interpretation of human history from early Homo sapiens to the modern world.
What the book explores
Harari examines how shared beliefs, agriculture, empires, money, religion, science, and technological change have influenced the development of societies. The book combines history with broader arguments about culture, economics, biology, and human cooperation.
For readers
A thought-provoking choice for readers interested in big-picture history and debates about how human societies formed and changed. Its broad interpretations are best read as the author’s synthesis and argument rather than as the only scholarly view of the subjects discussed.
