Contents • • • • • • • Summary [ ] Harari's work situates its account of human history within a framework provided by the natural sciences, particularly evolutionary biology: he sees biology as setting the limits of possibility for human activity, and sees culture as shaping what happens within those bounds. The academic discipline of History is the account of cultural change.

Harari surveys the history of humankind from the of archaic human species in the up to the twenty-first century, focusing on our own species of human,. He divides the history of Sapiens into four major parts: • The (c. 70,000 BCE, when Sapiens evolved imagination).

12,000 BCE, the development of farming). • The (the gradual consolidation of human political organisations towards one global empire). 1500 CE, the emergence of objective science). Harari's main argument is that Sapiens came to dominate the world because it is the only animal that can flexibly in large numbers.

He argues that prehistoric Sapiens were a key cause of the extinction of other human species such as the, along with numerous other. He further argues that the ability of Sapiens to cooperate in large numbers arises from its unique capacity to believe in things existing purely in the, such as,, and. Harari claims that all large-scale human cooperation systems – including,, and – owe their emergence to Sapiens's distinctive cognitive capacity for. Accordingly, Harari reads money as a system of and sees and as more or less identical with religions.

Harari's key claim regarding the Agricultural Revolution is that while it promoted population growth for Sapiens and co-evolving species like wheat and cows, it made the lives of most individuals (and animals) worse than they had been when Sapiens were mostly hunter-gatherers, since their diet and daily lives became significantly less varied. Humans' violent treatment of other animals is indeed a theme that runs throughout the book. In discussing the unification of humankind, Harari argues that over its history, the trend for Sapiens has increasingly been towards political and economic interdependence. For centuries, the majority of humans have lived in empires, and capitalist is effectively producing one, global empire. Harari argues that money, empires and are the principal drivers of this process. Harari sees the Scientific Revolution as founded in an innovation in European thought, whereby elites became willing to admit to and hence to try and remedy their.

He sees this as one driver of early modern European imperialism and of the current convergence of human cultures. Harari also emphasises the lack of research into the history of, positing that people today are not significantly happier than in past eras. He concludes by considering how modern technology may soon end the species as we know it, as it ushers in, and. Humans have, in Harari's chosen, become gods: they can create species. Reception [ ] Positive [ ] First published in Hebrew in 2011 and then in English in 2014, it was translated into 45 languages (as of June 2017). The book made and won the National Library of China's for the best book published in 2014. Negative [ ] Reviewing the book in, evolutionary anthropologist points out problems stemming from the contradiction between Harari's 'freethinking scientific mind' and his 'fuzzier worldview hobbled by political correctness', but nonetheless wrote that 'Harari’s book is important reading for serious-minded, self-reflective sapiens.'

Reviewing the book in, philosopher concluded that among several other problems, 'Much of Sapiens is extremely interesting, and it is often well expressed. As one reads on, however, the attractive features of the book are overwhelmed by carelessness, exaggeration and sensationalism.' Science journalist concluded in that, 'There’s a whiff of dorm-room bull sessions about the author’s stimulating but often unsourced assertions.' John Sexton wrote several critiques on the whole work of Sapiens in., an English and Canadian anthropologist, reviewed the book and did not find any 'serious contribution to knowledge'. He considered it an publishing event offering a 'wild intellectual ride across the landscape of history, dotted with sensational displays of speculation, and ending with blood-curdling predictions about human destiny.'
