Summary
From where did the world appear?
Is the creation story true?
Why is Man the way he is?
Were there men before you and me?
Would there be other species after you and me?
Religion and politics: What is their origin? And why do they rule our world so strongly?
Oh well! You might be in for a shocker! If you were told today that you come from a lineage of animals, and probably have some apes and chimpanzees as long-lost cousins, what would you think? If you knew that the creation story was just make-believe invented to control your world, what would you say? What if you were told that your species would one day come to an end?
All of these and many more are the topics explored in Sapiens.
In the book Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari discusses all you need to know about who you are and where you come from, and debunks the many myths that have lived with us until now.
This book contains a comprehensive, well-detailed summary and key takeaways of the original book by Yuval Noah Harari. It summarizes the book in detail, to help people effectively understand and imbibe the original work by Noah. This book is not meant to replace the original book but to serve as a companion to it.
Contained are:
- Executive summary of the original book
- Key points of each chapter and
- Brief chapter-by-chapter summaries
Disclaimer: This is a summary and review of the book Sapiens and not the original book.

An intelligent piece
This book is an intelligent piece. it has well written facts and can be said to one that will expose you to humanity if you haven't been exposed to facts about humankind. it was easy to read and understand.

A lot of useful and information
The book itself is great and it's definitely worth it, but the narrator is emotionless and unnatural.

Leftist incompetence causes harm
The book fails to explain the connection between certain historical and biological events. However it provides a very interesting view on the subject of happiness and where should we be looking.

stuck between a rock and a hard place
I have been nagged to read this book (the full title) by so many family members that I hoped a cheeky 2 hour cheat would help.
If this is a summary of the original title, I didn't learn much and the awful use of English in this cut down version makes me think it was summarised by a non-English speaking teenager.
Well done to them for bothering to read the original book. I hope they got something out of the process.

its a summary
Wanted to read the original version, decided to test audible because i had a long driving trip ahead. 1/5 wouldnt recommend, seems like a dumbed down boring version of the original. Im really disappointed, i feel like the original book was spoiled for me and now i dont feel like reading it.
