Sapiens

The most important book I have ever read! Many topics discussed here with quite an unbiased view. Cognitive revolution and how we are the most dangerous animal ever existed from the eyes of ecology. And how this cognitive power jumpstarted our imagination and subsequently the advent of myths and gods and religion …

Agricultural revolution and how wheat domesticated humans and kingdoms appeared… how we could live in more numbers but arguably worse conditions than hunter-gatherers society. how money and trade appeared and evolved in this era.

Scientific revolution and how capitalism is the main driving force and major incentive behind advances in science and ultimately the easier, longer and very efficient lives that we have now.

And much more …

Full of facts, rich with insights, and liberating by providing both a very distant and sometimes detailed perspective on how we came to be here at this point in time.
