One hundred thousand years ago, Homo sapiens was one of at least six human species that inhabited 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 the cognitive abilities of Homo sapiens 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, governments, 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?
Yuval Harari shows how the course of history has shaped human society and the reality around it. His book traces the connections between the events of the past and the problems of the present, and forces the reader to reconsider all established ideas about the world around us.
