Yuval Noah Harari Set-3 Books Set Book Description: Why did Homo sapiens turn into an ecological serial killer? Why is money the only thing everyone trusts? Why are most societies male-dominated, while women have superior social skills? Why do people who are so skilled at gaining power use that power to happiness? They fail to transform? Is science the religion of the future? Have humans already become obsolete? 100 thousand years ago, there were at least six different types of humans on earth. Today, there is only Homo Sapiens. What happened to others and what will happen to us? Most studies deal with the adventure of humanity with either a historical or biological approach, but Harari destroys traditions in this book that he started with the Cognitive Revolution that took place 70 thousand years ago. Examining many topics, from the role humans play in the global ecosystem to the rise of empires and the modern world, Sapiens reconsiders accepted narratives by bringing history and science together. Harari also forces the reader to look to the future. Recently, humans have begun to bend the laws of natural selection that have governed life for four billion years. We have now gained the ability to design not only the world, but also ourselves and other living things. So where does this take us, what can it turn us into? This provocative work, translated into more than 30 languages, is a great resource, especially for readers familiar with the works of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley and Robert Wright. “Sapiens is the greatest of history and the modern world.” He addresses the questions in a very simple language. You will love it!” - Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs and Steel - “Harari's work is full of ideas and surprising facts that stand against accepted doctrines.” - John Gray, Financial Times - (From the Promotional Bulletin)
