Sapiens
Yuval Noah Harari
A very thought provoking book. Human history said in a
different light. I have thoroughly enjoyed it!
This book has 4 parts - Cognitive revolution,
agricultural revolution, the unification of humankind and the scientific
revolution.
- Ideas created by man - religions, human rights, liberalism
- How humans scripted extinction of megafauna of Australia
and America.
- Domestication of selected animals and plants.
- How capitalism mutually helped science.
- A very good intro to Buddhism! Gives lots of hopes on how
to deal with sufferings of daily life.
