Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari | Conversation Starters
Our species, homo sapiens, was just one of the different human species that existed 100,000 years ago. Today, only our kind survives. How did homo sapiens make it to the 21st century without becoming extinct like the other human species? In Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari tells the history of the human race covering 70,000 years. Humankind went through several major revolutions which gave us the edge over the others. Harari introduces the exciting ideas about the binding power of stories and myths that unite millions of people around the world, and of biotechnology that create amortal cyborgs who will succeed our species. Leaders like Barack Obama, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg recommended this international bestselling book to their followers.
