Publisher's Summary

From where did the world appear? 

Is the creation story true? 

Why is Man the way he is? 

Were there men before you and me? 

Would there be other species after you and me? 

Religion and politics: What is their origin? And why do they rule our world so strongly? 

Oh well! You might be in for a shocker! If you were told today that you come from a lineage of animals, and probably have some apes and chimpanzees as long-lost cousins, what would you think? If you knew that the creation story was just make-believe invented to control your world, what would you say? What if you were told that your species would one day come to an end? 

All of these and many more are the topics explored in Sapiens.

In the book Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari discusses all you need to know about who you are and where you come from, and debunks the many myths that have lived with us until now.

Just listen to the full book

So much was missing in details. I found it didn’t summarize or give me much insight, it just enticed me to get the full book.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
