What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens?

Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it: us.

Editor reviews
Our species has only roamed the Earth for 200,000 years — but in that time, we’ve done more to change the face of the planet than any other creature in existence. In his provocative best-selling work Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari takes listeners on a journey through the history of mankind, from the Stone Age to today.
Over the course of this un-pausable audiobook, Harari examines how each generation of humanity left its mark on the planet - and how we’re still changing our world as each day passes.
Audie Award-winning English voice actor Derek Perkins skilfully navigates this thorough, research-driven work, setting the perfect tone for this riveting audiobook with his deep, intellectual delivery.
To put it simply in the words of one listener: 'Prepare to have your mind blown'.

What did you like most about Sapiens?
I found the structure of the reasoning of the author logical and similar to myself relating to greed; money is king and the power over ALL however, I look at my life in 3layers where his book is in layer1 (physical) ; layer2 (inert); layer3 (divine). With most of our recent understanding focusing on the "real" we are blessed with a great deal of tomes of physical and definable text. Layer two and three are SOFT and Fluffy, they are words such as love, hope, care, and belief. This an area that has NO logic or physical presence and as such will always be impossible to define for us; perhaps one day I will find the answer.Who was your favorite character and why?
