About this event

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind: Harari, Yuval Noah, Perkins, Derek: 9781494506902: Amazon.com: Books

This month’s book is Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Haran.

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari is a popular science book that traces the history of Homo Sapiens from the Stone Age to the 21st century, blending history, biology, and philosophy.  It argues that our species' success is due to the Cognitive, Agricultural, and Scientific Revolutions, and our unique ability to believe in shared "fictions" like money, nations, and human rights, which enables large-scale cooperation. The book explores how these developments shaped human society, our relationship with the environment, and our future, while also being noted for its broad scope and thought-provoking, sometimes controversial, claims.

Hosted by Viva Village.
