Sapiens : a brief history of humankind

Harari, Yuval N. (author).

Summary: Fire gave us power. Gossip helped us cooperate. Agriculture made us hungry for more. Mythology maintained law and order. Money gave us something we can really trust. Contradictions created culture. Science made us deadly. This is the thrilling account of our extraordinary history - from insignificant apes to rulers of the world. Bold, wide-ranging and provocative, Sapiens challenges everything we thought we knew about being human: our beliefs, our actions, our power... and our future.
