Sapiens: A Brief History of human kind By Yuval Noah Harari
- September 12, 2020-
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari is an amazing informative book that every Sapiens must read in their lifetime.'Sapiens'
is almost about everything from biology, philosophy, evolution, anthropology, history, culture to religion. This book helps you to lift the curtains of history of sapiens highlighting each and every aspects related to us in this long run of evolution. It talks about how we Sapiens only survive while other species of genus Homo extinct long long time ago in distant history and how we caused the extinction of countless flora and fauna during our journey to the top of animal kingdom.
This book is divided into four parts, they are the cognitive revolution, the Agricultural revolution, the unification of humankind and the scientific revolution. Personally my favorite part is cognitive revolution. I found this part really interesting and breathtaking.But I had to admit that some pages which includes the history were hiring as hell because I don't have any slightest bit of ideas about those places or historical events. This book helps u to know how the human's unique talent of imagination lead them from stone age to this modern technological era.And at some last pages of the book, Harari has mentioned that natural selection has given Homo Sapiens wide field than to any other organisms so far but it may not be in our favor for so long now and it's time to break the law of natural selection and replace it by the law of intelligent design.

I highly recommend this book to every Sapiensbecause this book is all about our history. One of my fav line from this book
"Human emerge from the womb like molten glass from a furnace. They can be spun, stretched and shaped with surprising degree of freedom."
