Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind Audio Book Summary:
A hundred thousand years ago there were six human species that walked on the Earth. Now, there is only one left, the Homo sapiens, us. Many questions are left unanswered even to this day. How did our species survive to be the dominant life form today? What happened to the other human species and what caused them to become extinct? How our ancestor began the notion of forming societies, towns and cities? Where did religion begin and what sparked the evolution of not only us but also the beginnings of economy?
This audiobook is a provocative and bold study of the humble beginnings of man to its steady and slow climb to the top of the species. This audiobook will put our understanding of our past, present and future to a whole new light.
One reason to listen:
Sapiens shows our history in a fact laden and scientific point of view that will give us better understanding where we are today and what might be in store for us in the future.

Reactions:
“Sapiens is an absolutely brilliant book! Superbly written, engaging, simple explanations of complex concepts – often reads like a good novel. I learned so much reading this book – more than I ever learned in geography and history at school!” – Steve P

“Harari is a masterful debunker of magic, dramatically exposing accepted realities to be nothing more than imaginative constructs. In Sapiens, I love his grandiose leaps but I have to say some of his facts are wrong. A fascinating book, overall.” – Jennifer Johnson

“This is a great book. I found it hard to put down once I started it. Yuval Noah Harari writes with a good sense of humor and some sarcasm. The book is a fascinating look at how society developed through three revolutions: cultural, agricultural, and scientific.”– Steve G.

“This is an exceptionally clear, informative and well written short history of the human race from a socio-biological standpoint. Anyone who has read Jared Diamond would appreciate it.” – Robb Mason

“Great Book….a must read for History buffs of all interests….Mr. Harari’s opinions, such as the idea that wheat ruined humankind’s good ol’ foraging ways, are a bit nettlesome, but a small price to pay for the data he presents in a cogent and enjoyable manner.” – Rob Litell
