Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind is a non-fiction book by historian Yuval Noah Harari that provides an overview of human history, from the Stone Age to the present. Harari examines the rise of Homo sapiens and the three major revolutions that our species has undergone: the cognitive, the agricultural, and the scientific. Drawing on findings from disciplines as diverse as biology, anthropology, and economics, Harari explores how the major currents of history have shaped our society, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. The book questions everything we thought we knew about human beings: our origins, our ideas, our actions, our power... and our future.
