Who will enjoy this book

Ideal for those interested in human history, evolution, and big-picture thinking about how societies have shaped our world, perfect for anyone seeking to rethink their understanding of civilization.

What this book is about

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari takes you on a journey through the history of humanity, from the earliest days of Homo sapiens to the modern world. Harari explores how we evolved, how we built societies, and how our shared beliefs shaped everything from politics to religion. What makes the book so fascinating is its big-picture view, showing how the agricultural revolution, the rise of empires, and capitalism all influenced the way we live today. It’s a thought-provoking read that challenges how we think about human history, progress, and the future.
