![]() The reality is probably a combination of both theories. There are two theories of how Homo sapiens evolved: Interbreeding theory and Replacement theory. Think religions, myths, legends, and fantasies. We were able to talk about things we had never seen, touched, or smelled. Hence we feel anxious and stressed because we aren’t used to being at the top. This means that the rest of the food chain wasn’t ready and neither were we. Humans, however, jumped to the top relatively rapidly. Most animals at the top of the food chain made it there gradually over millions of years. Humankind was very much in the middle of the food chain until 400,000 years ago and didn’t leap to the top of the food chain until 100,000 years ago. ![]() In fact, the species lived simultaneously. The depiction of man evolving from hunched over to upright incorrectly displays human evolution as a linear trajectory. Homo Sapiens means “wise man.” From about 2 million years ago until 10,000 years ago, multiple human species roamed the earth together. We (Pre-historic humans) were no more important and impressive than other mammals. (Biology).Ībout 2.5 million years ago, humans first evolved in East Africa. (Chemistry).Ībout 3.8 billion years ago, certain molecules combined to form particularly large and intricate structures called organisms. (Physics)Ībout 300,000 years after, matter and energy started to coalesce into complex structures, called atoms, which then combined into molecules. Matter, energy, time and space came into being. The Cognitive Revolution:ġ3.5 Billion years ago BING BANG happened. I will discuss the first part of the book on this blog. Based on our past, it provides a very pessimistic end to humanity – which we prove time and again with our environmental and political ways to govern ourselves. An open mind can enjoy the book most, however, a closed one would find it blasphemous. He calls them myths and you sort of agree with him if you can take your bias out of the way. His take on religion, human rights, money and many other present-day facts are quite unique and leave you wondering. Yuval Noah Harari provides an insight unparalleled on how agriculture and industrial revolutions changed the course of human history. I will be reading it again and marking the book extensively to be able to use it as a reference.Ī fresh perspective of how present-day “homosapiens” evolved to dominate the world over the course of 70,000 years. I found this book to be engaging, respectful and informative. ![]() It is an easy read, with lots of details and storytelling and is fairly objective. One of the best books I have read!! I first saw this book at a friend’s house in the UK and was soon told that his teenage daughter had first read it and he loved it as well.
