Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari is a detailed account of history of human beings and journey of Homo sapiens from the African continent to the present status of being the ruling species on earth. Through the exploration of the three transformative revolutions that human beings underwent, that is the Cognitive Revolution, the Agriculture Revolution and the Scientific Revolution, the book demonstrates how human could create and negotiate through concepts that are immaterial such as religion, capitalisms and politics. Continuing the survey of revolutions that befell human species, Harari also focuses on their consequences for well-being of individuals and humanity in general, as well as on the future of species experimenting with the verge of post-humanity. In sum, Sapiens is worthwhile book, which provides fresh ideas and which promotes critical thinking about history and the processes that have formed human civilisation.
