Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
5.0
Everyone should read this book As coming from someone who don't most frequently read Non-fiction, you can actually believe when I say you should read this.
The beginning of this book was brilliant, it talks about the events that homo sapiens has live through, their human history. I seriously want the education system to include the first two chapter of this book on our class 10 science 'Evolution' chapter. Starting from the early age to agricultural revolution to industrial revolution and achievement of humankind in genetic engineering, Yuval focuses on providing the knowledge of how the things are like that and what made this the way it is.
The way Harari portrays the events and knowledge is simply incredible. One of the best part about this book is how Harari includes specific stories and events while educating us about facts and knowledge. This book will compel you to arise many questions in your mind and yes you'll find every question answered.
Some of the things that he mentioned about agricultural revolution being the worst thing that happened in humankind.... well.. i don't 100% agree on that but its not important to agree on his every points but rather we should respect his way of thinking. Also the point he made with wheat saying "Did we domesticated wheat or did wheat domesticated us? " was really enlightening.
At the end he left us to think about the future, arises the question what do we want to want? With all this reading at last with that question you'll be left with so many questions about our future.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and also Harari's writing is incredible.
