Summary

Hace 100。000 años al menos seis especies de humanos habitaban la Tierra。 Hoy solo queda una， la nuestra: Homo sapiens。

¿Cómo logró nuestra especie imponerse en la lucha por la existencia？ ¿Por qué nuestros ancestros recolectores se unieron para crear ciudades y reinos？ ¿Cómo llegamos a creer en dioses， en naciones o en los derechos humanos; a confiar en el dinero， en los libros o en las leyes？ ¿Cómo acabamos sometidos a la burocracia， a los horarios y al consumismo？ ¿Y cómo será el mundo en los milenios venideros？

En De animales a dioses Yuval Noah Harari traza una breve historia de la humanidad， desde los primeros humanos que caminaron sobre la Tierra hasta los radicales y a veces devastadores avances de las tres grandes revoluciones que nuestra especie ha protagonizado: la cognitiva， la agrícola y la científica。 A partir de hallazgos de disciplinas tan diversas como la biología， la antropología， la paleontología o la economía， Harari explora cómo las grandes corrientes de la historia han modelado nuestra sociedad， los animales y las plantas que nos rodean e incluso nuestras personalidades。 ¿Hemos ganado en felicidad a medida que ha avanzado la historia？ ¿Seremos capaces de liberar alguna vez nuestra conducta de la herencia del pasado？ ¿Podemos hacer algo para influir en los siglos futuros？

Well written， captivating， concise， far reaching and quite interesting。 I’ve always loved history and find the approach of this book to be a perfect way to look at the written tales of the past。 Certainly cerebral and asking good questions that are often ignored in our quest for growth， happiness， or really whatever we want。 I like the idea of deconstructing the agricultural revolution and how we grow accustomed to progress almost making it pointless。 What to want， what is a meaningful life？ Doe Well written， captivating， concise， far reaching and quite interesting。 I’ve always loved history and find the approach of this book to be a perfect way to look at the written tales of the past。 Certainly cerebral and asking good questions that are often ignored in our quest for growth， happiness， or really whatever we want。 I like the idea of deconstructing the agricultural revolution and how we grow accustomed to progress almost making it pointless。 What to want， what is a meaningful life？ Does happiness depend on your own delusion in finding meaning in a vast empty meaningless world？ Is a good future one with a better species at the helm fulfilling our Star Trek fantasies that looks down upon homo Homo sapiens （need to say how wise we are twice in our own description， says everything you need to know about us lol） the way we looked down upon Neanderthals？ 。。。more

This book is just beautiful and must read。Reading Sapiens will make you see the world and us from a totally different perspective。Who are we？ Where do we come from？ What made us like this？ What will be our future？

The first half is a lot better than the second half， but overall still a very fascinating read！ It's written very well， easy to understand， and can completely change your understanding of our homo sapiens species。 The first half is a lot better than the second half， but overall still a very fascinating read！ It's written very well， easy to understand， and can completely change your understanding of our homo sapiens species。 。。。more

کتابی با ترجمه‌ی بسیار روان برای بررسی سرگذشت انسان در طول تاریخ؛ البته کمی طولانی‌تر از چیزیه که باید باشه。

This book I will recommend widely to anyone， it gives you a scale to grasp the magnitude of how little we humans have been on the surface of this earth and how much we have changed ourselves and our surroundings with us。

soit il ne crédite pas les visions des autres auteurs qu'il développe， ce qui est une faute éthique et professionnelle。 Combien de fois me suis-je demandé "mais， pourquoi il dit ça ？"， "Mais， d'où il tient ça ？" Quand il propose que les Hommes de l'époque pensaient ça et qu'il ont voulu changer dans tel sens : d'accord， mais prouve-le ！ Exemple : " Dès l'antique Sumer， au moins， toutes les cultures humaines ont connu une forme ou une autre de système de crédit。 Le problème des époques antérieures n'est pas que personne n'ait eu l'idée ou n'ait eu s'en servir。 Il était que les gens étaient rarement disposés à accorder beaucoup de crédit parce qu'ils avaient peine à croire que le futur vaudrait mieux que le présent。 Ils croyaient généralement que le passé était meilleur que leur propre époque， et que l'avenir serait pire， ou au mieux largement pareil。" Mais SELON QUI ？ Quelles sont les preuves de l'avancée de ce propos ？？ Aucune ！ Comment Harari peut-il savoir ce que les sumériens pensaient ？ Aucun écrit n'atteste en particulier de leurs états d'esprit sur la question du crédit。。。 Sapiens regorge malheureusement de paragraphes de ce type。Autre remarque : dans l'Histoire de l'humanité qu'il tente de résumer， il ne s'agit que de l'histoire des hommes。 A aucun moment， Harari ne mentionne l'histoire des femmes。 Je pense qu'il aurait quand même été important de soulever dans un chapitre dédié l'histoire de cette moitié de l'humanité en rapport aux discriminations et exactions dont elles ont fait l'objet。。。 mais ce n'est qu'un détail。 Il ne pouvait pas traiter de tous les sujets。 A garder en tête donc : Sapiens est l'oeuvre des théories d'une personne seulement， et non le résumé objectif de l'histoire de l'humanité。 Le problème est que cet ouvrage est souvent lu comme tel， par des personnes qui veulent justement lire une introduction à l'Histoire。 Je trouve que l'argumentation de Sapiens ne s'y prête pas car on doit disposer d'un regard critique déjà aiguisé pour comprendre la vision de l'auteur et ne pas tout gober tout cru ！ Mine de rien， c'était quand même un bon apprentissage， et j'ai souvent été d'accord avec la vision de Harari， que je trouvais pertinente， notamment sur la partie de l'unification de l'humanité et en particulier les religions （traditionnelles et modernes）。 J'ai aimé également les références à l'état actuel de la maltraitance animale liée au développement du capitalisme。 En conclusion : des choses à retenir， à apprendre， mais se rapproche dangereusement des Fake news dans le sens où Sapiens se donne à lire comme une encyclopédie historique， ce qui n'est pas le cas。 Trop de phrases tournées au présent de vérité générale alors que ce sont des émanations des pensées de l'auteur。 C'est presque comme de la désinformation， et c'est dommage。。。 。。。more

Finally！ I’ll be honest it’s the most drive-me-crazy-book。 It kinda made sense when my Israeli friend told me that’s what he studied back in the uni as the textbook。 I do like how he uses fun analogy， and the broad topics as thousands of years of human kind briefed into merely 500 pages but （your） God， I hated it so much！ Sure as an historian he’s an expert in his field but the language， the way of expression， without being presence， sounds too opinionated in my opinion and it bothers me a ton。 Finally！ I’ll be honest it’s the most drive-me-crazy-book。 It kinda made sense when my Israeli friend told me that’s what he studied back in the uni as the textbook。 I do like how he uses fun analogy， and the broad topics as thousands of years of human kind briefed into merely 500 pages but （your） God， I hated it so much！ Sure as an historian he’s an expert in his field but the language， the way of expression， without being presence， sounds too opinionated in my opinion and it bothers me a ton。 There were a few chapters closing to the end that attracted my attention， just a bit of the scratch and boom it ended in a rush way。 。。。more

Strange， there were issues I felt in writing， but it was an interesting look and take to the topic。 Made me want to go do some of my own reading and investigating on the matter。

I really enjoyed this book！ It read like a super accessible history textbook！ I didn't want to stop reading！ The title is not wrong - considering the subject， this was a brief history of humankind and it opened up more questions for me that I may want to research in the future。 The book is divided into the four parts with four or more chapters for each part - Cognitive Revolution， Agricultural Revolution， The Unification of Humankind， and Scientific Revolution。 Each part was equally fascinating I really enjoyed this book！ It read like a super accessible history textbook！ I didn't want to stop reading！ The title is not wrong - considering the subject， this was a brief history of humankind and it opened up more questions for me that I may want to research in the future。 The book is divided into the four parts with four or more chapters for each part - Cognitive Revolution， Agricultural Revolution， The Unification of Humankind， and Scientific Revolution。 Each part was equally fascinating as well as troubling。 I learned a lot。 One example is how the agricultural revolution was a fraud， meaning that Homo Sapiens began farming in the hopes of producing more food but ended up becoming slaves to the process of farming and more miserable than they had been as hunter gatherers。 I'd never realized that before。 All the early revolutions of course led to more developments as people and as a culture。。。 but did it lead to more happiness？ The last part of the book was pretty scary from a historical and scientific perspective。 The book ends with this poignant and terrifying thought about humankind of today: Is there anything more dangerous than dissatisfied and irresponsible gods who don't know what they want？ （yikes。） I definitely recommend this book to all who are curious about the history （as well as a prediction of the future） of humankind！ 。。。more

Provocative and exciting。 I expected a simple book on human anthropology and our prehistoric path to homo sapiens， but I came out with experiencing the great story of humankind。 Starting from our hunter-gatherer lifestyle to the cognitive and agricultural revolution。 Then to the impacts of imperialism， capitalism， and the scientific revolution。 And， finally where we are headed next as sapiens or as "gods"。 Provocative and exciting。 I expected a simple book on human anthropology and our prehistoric path to homo sapiens， but I came out with experiencing the great story of humankind。 Starting from our hunter-gatherer lifestyle to the cognitive and agricultural revolution。 Then to the impacts of imperialism， capitalism， and the scientific revolution。 And， finally where we are headed next as sapiens or as "gods"。 。。。more
