Publisher Description
'Interesting and provocative... It gives you a sense of how briefly we've been on this Earth' Barack Obama
What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens?
One of the world's preeminent historians and thinkers, Yuval Noah Harari challenges everything we know about being human.
Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it: us.
In this bold and provocative book, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we're going.

Great way to refresh history about humankind
A Book for Life
This book is one of the best books I’ve read, if not, the best. Yuval takes you on an organised timeline of events that aid the reader in better understanding the the order and history of Humankind.
I recommend this book to anyone who has curiosity around their habitat & planet around them. 5/5
