Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari

03 Jun 2025

Description

In this episode, we unpack Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari, a bestselling exploration of how Homo sapiens came to dominate the planet. We break down the book’s four key revolutions—the Cognitive, Agricultural, Unification of Humankind, and Scientific Revolutions—which chart humanity’s evolution from foragers to global influencers. Harari’s multidisciplinary approach, drawing from history, anthropology, and biology, invites us to rethink familiar narratives about progress, cooperation, and the cost of civilisation. We also examine the book’s global impact, its critical reception, and the debates it has sparked among scholars and readers alike.Disclaimer:This episode provides an educational overview and commentary on Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari.
