Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Unlike traditional historical narratives filled with dates and rulers, this book explores how Homo sapiens evolved from an unremarkable species of ape into the dominant force on Earth.

Starting with the Cognitive Revolution 70,000 years ago, Harari traces humanity’s journey through the Agricultural, Industrial, and Scientific Revolutions, showing how each stage shaped modern society. He raises provocative questions about biology, technology, and what it means to be human — and even whether we might one day engineer ourselves out of existence.

A fascinating, accessible, and thought-provoking global bestseller that blends history, philosophy, and science.
