How did Homo sapiens conquer the world?
In this video, we summarize one of the most groundbreaking books of our time: Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari.
From a small group of upright apes in East Africa to the dominant force shaping the planet, Harari’s Sapiens takes us on an extraordinary journey through 70,000 years of human history. This video breaks down the key ideas of the book—from the Cognitive Revolution to the rise of agriculture, religion, capitalism, and artificial intelligence—in a way that's clear, insightful, and engaging.
We explore how myths, shared beliefs, and social structures allowed Homo sapiens to cooperate in large groups, build civilizations, and reshape the Earth. You'll discover how imagined realities—like nations, money, and corporations—have more power than we think, and why understanding our past is crucial for navigating the future.
Whether you're a history buff, a philosophy enthusiast, or simply curious about how we got here, this summary of Sapiens will open your mind and challenge the way you see humanity.
