4.9/5 (28687 ratings)
Description:How Human Evolve from Insignificant Apes to Become the Rulers of the World The must-read summary of "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind," by Yuval Noah Harari.In Sapiens, Professor Yuval Noah Harari focuses on the three great revolutions of human history: Cognitive, Agricultural, and Scientific. He presents a hypothesis how Homo sapiens transforms from an animal of no significance 70,000 years ago to become the rulers of the Earth.Earlier human species such as Homo neanderthalensis in Europe and Homo erectus in Asia had climate and environment adaptations that sapiens did not have. The Cognitive Revolution between 70,000 and 30,000 years ago enabled the sapiens to form elaborate cultures and communicate in fictions. Myths, religions, moral codes, nations, corporations, and money are fictions that shape human societies, allowing them to speak the same language and share the same customs, beliefs, rituals, and dreams. Fictions also allowed them to cooperate in groups, giving them a military and security advantage and encouraging specialization which eventually gave them a technological advantage.This book tells the story of how these three revolutions have affected humans since the start of the Cognitive Revolution.This guide includes: Book Summary-The summary helps you understand the key ideas and recommendations.Online Videos-On-demand replay of public lectures, and seminars on the topics covered in the chapter.Value-added of this guide: Save time Understand key concepts Expand your knowledgeThis book challenges everything we thought we knew about being human.Tags: animism, Aztec Empire, Babylonian Empire, Qin Empire, biology, bobobos, capitalism, chimpanzees, China, Roman Empire, Christianity, Code of Hammurabi, Egypt, communities, culture, Confusianism, cooperation, cognitive revolution, ecology, elephants, empire, Europe, evolution, fictions, chood chain, genetics, gold, happiness, hierarchy, history, homo sapiens, humans, language, mathematics, Ming Empire, natural selection, domestication, agricultural revolution, scientific revolution, religion, Qin dyneasty, Qing dynasty, quipu, Replacement Theory, race, sex, gender, script, slavery, social structure, South America, Spain, Song Empire, Sumer, trade, women, men, hunter-gatherer, foragers, farmers, Wranfel Island, Arctic Ocean, Stone Age, taxes, mythology, archaeology,We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
