I got to know about this book from one of the podcast where Naval<\/a> was guest.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

As book title says, it talks about us Homo Sapiens.\u00a0 It gives great deal of insights about :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. our origin and why Homo Sapiens survived and others disappeared.<\/li>\n
  2. About how agriculture changed our way of living.<\/li>\n
  3. Building of great empires.<\/li>\n
  4. How religion played significant role in building a society<\/li>\n
  5. Slavery\u00a0 & cause of same<\/li>\n
  6. innovation in science & technology<\/li>\n
  7. Colonial expansion<\/li>\n
  8. Beginning of Capitalism<\/li>\n
  9. Consumerism<\/li>\n
  10. And much more….<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Don’t be surprised if you end up finishing the book in one go. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

    The book also gives brief introduction of what is coming next in human advancement like Cyborg, Bionics, Super humans, bio-engineering.<\/p>\n

    Last not the least, my friend Steve just shared via twitter this interesting piece of information<\/p>\n

    \n

    Another recommendation from @naval<\/a> was Sapiens, finally finished reading it. Someone should make a documentary out of it. \ud83d\ude0b<\/p>\n
