Yuval Noah Harari's book "Sapiens" is a succinct account of human history that presents events and rulers in a different chronological order than is customary in many historical novels. The reader is shown step-by-step by the author how Homo sapiens attained the pinnacles of intellectual, technological, and economic advancement. From the Cognitive Revolution seventy thousand years ago, Harari takes us through the global spread of our species, the Agricultural Revolution that occurred about twelve thousand years ago, and the Industrial and Scientific Revolutions of the Modern era that gave humanity the ability to change its own biology in addition to advancing technology.
