   Yuval Noah Harari · at 35:46

   Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari explores the sweeping trajectory of human history, from the cognitive evolution of early hominids to the complex social and economic structures of the modern era.

   “Yuval Noah Harari’s book 'Sapiens' articulates this well, and I strongly recommend it. He discusses how people create shared myths allowing coordination among larger groups.”
