Reader reviews for Sapiens. de Animales a Dioses / Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

From the publisher

El libro de no ficcin del AO

Un best seller internacional con ms de un milln de ejemplares vendidos.

Lcido e iluminador: la historia de la humanidad en un solo volumen.

Este es el fascinante relato de nuestra extraordinaria historia: de simios sin importancia a amos del mundo.

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

En Sapiens. 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 agrcola y la cientfica. A partir de hallazgos de disciplinas tan diversas como la biologa, la antropologa, la paleontologa o la economa, Harari explora cmo 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?

Audaz, ambicioso y provocador, este libro cuestiona todo lo que creamos saber sobre el ser humano: nuestros orgenes, nuestras ideas, nuestras acciones, nuestro poder... y nuestro futuro.

- El fuego nos dio poder.
- La conversacin hizo posible que cooperramos.
- La agricultura aliment nuestra ambicin.
- La mitologa sostuvo la ley y el orden.
- El dinero ofreci algo en lo que confiar.
- Las contradicciones crearon la cultura.
- La ciencia nos hizo imparables.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

New York Times Bestseller

From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity's creation and evolution--a #1 international bestseller--that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be "human."

One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one--homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us?

Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.

Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become?

Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem.
