Sapiens: A Brief History Of Humankind  (Paperback, Noah Harari Yuval)

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind: At least six different human species lived on the planet 100,000 years ago. There is only one now. Us. Human species. How did our species prevail in the struggle for supremacy? Why did our nomadic foragers get together to build towns and kingdoms? How did we come to trust money, literature, and laws; to believe in gods, nations, and human rights; and to be ruled by bureaucracy, deadlines, and consumerism? What will the future millennia bring for our world? Dr. Yuval Noah Harari covers the entirety of human history in Sapiens, from the very first creatures to walk the planet through the revolutionary - and occasionally life-changing - discoveries of the Cognitive, Agricultural, and Scientific Revolutions.
