Episode Synopsis


One hundred thousand years ago, Homo sapiens was an insignificant ape minding its own business. Today, we rule the planet. How did we conquer the Earth? In his groundbreaking book, Yuval Noah Harari tells the story of our species, from the Stone Age to the Silicon Age. Sapiens explores how our unique ability to believe in shared fictions—like gods, nations, and money—allowed us to build civilizations. This bold narrative will challenge everything you think you know about being human and what our future may hold.
