This enlightening book gives an account of how history and evolution have shaped human society as we know it today. 

​

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, to come up with books and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the future? 

​

Dr. Harari explores these questions through an accessible, engaging overview of evolutionary history, with plenty of food for thought.
