One hundred thousand years ago, Homo sapiens was one of at least six human species on this planet, an unremarkable animal that played no more a role in the ecosystem than gorillas, fireflies, or jellyfish. But about seventy thousand years ago, a mysterious change in Homo sapiens' cognitive abilities turned it into the master of the planet and the nightmare of the ecosystem. How did Homo sapiens conquer the world? What happened to the other human species? When and why did money, government, and religion appear? How did empires rise and fall? Why did almost all societies value women inferior to men? How did science and capitalism become the dominant creeds of the modern era? Have people become happier over time? What future awaits us?
