100,000 years ago, there were at least six different species of human beings inhabiting the Earth. But suddenly, now there is only one left, the Homo Sapiens. This book explains how we have evolved to evade the laws of natural selection and the whole concept of what it means to be a human being. The book Sapiens, from Animals to Gods, by Yuval Noah Harari.

Este libro fue publicado en el 2016 y pienso que puso de moda esos libros cerebros dentro del mundo de la no ficción. Como que bastante académico, científico, pero explicado de una manera muy sencilla. El Amanecer de Todo, que fue el resumen 39 en el podcast, Breves Respuestas a las Grandes Preguntas, el 28. Todos estos libros hablan de temas bastante complejos. very complicated, explained in a very simple way. I think the author, Yuval Noah Harari, was one of the first to realize that this can be massive. You can explain to the masses very complicated concepts, such as human history and the future of it.
The author, to give context, is a historian and Israeli professor. I think that's partly why he explains things very well. author of this book, Sapiens, of course, of Homo Deus, which is the next part of this book, and 21 lessons for the 21st century. Everything makes a kind of trilogy about humanity. It has become a famous figure and too respected within the scientific and social world, to the point that heads of state They consult with him, the former Argentine president Mauricio Macri, the former German chancellor Angela Merkel, the current president of France Emmanuel Macron. They all discuss with him to know what he thinks about the future of humanity, macroeconomic, macro-political decisions.
And that is part of the criticism that the author has today, that he has become more political than a thinker, perhaps he has expanded his area of what he is an expert in, that he is thinking about things that he has not really studied so much, and therefore he has certain enemies within the scientific world. But in truth, you rarely have success without enemies. I think he has had a very good book, at least, Sapiens, he has a very good analysis of what the history of the human race is. There are things that can be debated and we are going to do it through the book, we are not going to be able to realize what his opinions are and what sciences are.
