universe and renders humans obsolete and possibly extinct. Homo Deus begins by presenting the chief problem of the twenty-first century: Now that humans have mostly resolved the problems of famine, war, and plague, which projects will humankind prioritize? Harari argues the quest for immortality, happiness, and divinity will follow. To support this supposition, Harari refers to the history of humankind, placing focus on the 300-year long history of humanism. She does so, not to predict the future, but to make the point that the present as we know it today was not inevitable. It was only one of countless alternative futures that could have been. Harari thus encourages readers to re-orient their goals in the twenty-first century to deliberately mold the coming decades and future centuries.

CONCLUSION

INTRODUCTION

Seventy thousand years ago, there were at least six different human species on earth. They were insignificant animals whose ecological impact was less than that of fireflies or jellyfish. Today, there is only one human species left: Us. Homo sapiens. But we rule this planet.

Sapiens, the book, takes us on a breath-taking ride through our entire human history, from its evolutionary roots to the age of capitalism and genetic engineering, to uncover why we are the way we are. Sapiens focuses on key processes that shaped humankind and the world around it, such as the advent or agriculture, the creation of money, the spread of religion and the rise of the nation state. Unlike other books of its kind, Sapiens takes a multi-disciplinary approach that bridges the gaps between history, biology, philosophy and economics in a way never done before. Furthermore, taking both the macro and micro view, Sapiens conveys not only what happened and why, but also how it felt for individuals.

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind is a book by Professor Yuval Noah Harari first published in Hebrew in Israel in 2011, and in English in 2014. Harari cites Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs, and Steel (1997) as one of the greatest inspirations for the book by showing that it was possible to “ask very big questions and answer them scientifically.”
