APPLE BOOKS REVIEW

If you’ve ever lamented the state of the world and the environmental and political chaos swirling all around us, this book is for you. Israeli historian Yuval Harari argues that the roots of humanity’s current problems can be found by tracing our footsteps way, way back in time. Sapiens—a breakaway hit around the world—explores our species’ history by following a series of cognitive, agricultural and scientific revolutions that occurred over the course of 100,000 years and up to the present. Harari uses critical insights and philosophical reflections to deliver takeaway lessons about the past that could help shape our future.

Sapiens Review

Opinionated tripe

Homo sAliens

My first look at browsing with a view to from Apple Audiobooks and I'm alarmed by the "Reviewers" here. The genre and title of the book, Sapiens, suggests an author with an incisive, scholastic bent toward socio-cultural anthropology and Darwinian evolution. However, "Reviews" I've read through, pertaining to both author and Sapiens, gives no insight into the academic reach of what is frequently referred to as opinion(s). Is his a pond-skipping flow of consciousness, or the deep, dark dive of a Sperm Whale?
