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.
Customer Reviews
Not always correct with a negative sauce from the author.
Highly interesting book until you realize there’s hardly any sources in the book and when you check things online facts seem to be twisted in favor of the story. Additionally the author is super pessimistic about the book’s subject.
A disappointment
Personal opinion rather than an objective view I find.
