    About this ebook

    This is a summary of Yuval Noah Harari’s Sapiens: A Brief History of Mankind

    The groundbreaking book, written by a well-known historian, reveals how human beings were created and evolved. It also takes a deep look into the history and biology that have come to define us while enhancing what we understand by “humanity.”

    How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance?
    Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms?
    How did we come to believe in gods nations and human rights to trust money books and laws and to be enslaved by bureaucracy timetables and consumerism?
    And what will our world be like in the millennia to come?

    Available in a variety of formats, this summary is aimed for those who want to capture the gist of the book but don't have the current time to devour all 498 pages. You get the main summary along with all of the benefits and lessons the actual book has to offer. This summary is not intended to be used without reference to the original book.
