A hundred thousand years ago, Homo sapiens was one of at least six human species that lived on this planet-an unremarkable animal that played no more of 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 him into the master of the planet and the nightmare of the ecosystem. How did man of reason manage to conquer the world? What became of other human species? When and why did money, states and religion appear? How did empires arise and collapse? Why did almost all societies put women below men? How did science and capitalism become the dominant beliefs of the modern era? Have people become happier over time? What does the future hold for us?
Yuval Harari shows how the course of history has shaped human society and the reality around it. His book traces the connection between the events of the past and the problems of the present and forces the reader to rethink all established ideas about the world around him.
