Sapiens

এই বই সম্পর্কে

Yuval Noah Harari surveys human history from evolutionary beginnings to societies shaped by agriculture, money, religion and states. He connects biology with economics, philosophy and political history to ask how one species acquired such far-reaching power. A central argument is that shared stories allow large numbers of strangers to cooperate. Harari also questions whether increasing collective power has improved individual lives. His account considers the costs of farming, the treatment of animals and the relationship between modern institutions and human happiness. Moving between broad historical changes and their consequences for particular lives, the book offers an interpretation of humanity's rise and the assumptions underlying the world people have built.
