Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind is a book that explores the history of humanity from the Stone Age to the present. The author, Yuval Noah Harari, examines how Homo sapiens managed to dominate the planet and how our species has created concepts such as religion, the nation, and human rights. It also analyzes contemporary evolution through the weight of bureaucracy and mass consumption, and worries about the future of the planet. This book is a bold, scholarly, and provocative work that challenges everything we thought we knew about humanity.
