A sweeping overview of the history of the genus Homo, focusing heavily on Homo sapiens. The text explores the history of humankind through major transformations, including the impact of the Cognitive Revolution and the subsequent rise of myths and imagined orders that facilitate large-scale cooperation, such as limited liability companies and national identity. Significant attention is paid to the dramatic Agricultural Revolution, which is portrayed as "history's biggest fraud" because it worsened the lives of the average person, and the long-term, devastating ecological impact of Sapiens as they spread across the globe. Finally, the source looks toward the future, discussing the rise of science, capitalism, and modern technology (including bioengineering and bionics) and speculating on the potential end of Homo sapiens as a species.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Sapiens-Humankind-Yuval-Noah-Harari/dp/0062316095?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=0181e69a3dbb5266c96f78904a181583&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
