**ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY**

What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens?

One of the world's preeminent historians and thinkers, Yuval Noah Harari challenges everything we know about being human.

Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it: us.

In this bold and provocative book, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we're going.

PRAISE FOR SAPIENS:
'Interesting and provocative... It gives you a sense of how briefly we've been on this Earth' Barack Obama

'Jaw-dropping from the first word to the last... It may be the best book I've ever read' Chris Evans

'I would recommend Sapiens to anyone who's interested in the history and future of our species' Bill Gates

Critic Reviews

I would recommend Sapiens to anyone who’s interested in the history and future of our species
Interesting and provocative… It gives you a sense of how briefly we’ve been on this Earth
Jaw-dropping from the first word to the last… It may be the best book I’ve ever read
Tackles the biggest questions of history and the modern world… Written in unforgettably vivid language
Startling... It changes the way you look at the world
Sapiens is a starburst of a book, as enjoyable as it is stimulating
One of the best books I’ve read recently… Gives an excellent overview of how our species has developed
Sweeps the cobwebs out of your brain… Radiates power and clarity, making the world strange and new
Sapiens is packed with heretical thinking and surprising facts. This riveting, myth-busting book cannot be summarised in any detail; you will simply have to read it (John Gray)
Here is a simple reason why Sapiens has risen explosively to the ranks of an international best-seller. It tackles the biggest questions of history and of the modern world, and it is written in unforgettably vivid language. You will love it! (Jared Diamond)
All stars
Most relevant
Although they say it is a History, It is a combination of History and Story where they are missing History, although Writer has done his job perfectly to fill missing link with so called assumptions and prevailing stories by scientists it's self.
Book has no regards for Religion but I would say they are missing on Spirituality because I was awaiting for the comments of writers on Spirituality.
Otherwise Great listen.

You read this as a child who do not know anything,let sink it's knowledge understands it on your level if it fit to your believe and value then good if not don't worry the writer of this book is also a human he can also be wrong.......
But one thing is sure that this book is increases your dimension of thinking.
