He correctly points out that it’s not entirely obvious what first spurred the development of our species’s extraordinary intelligence. Harari ponders the considerable energy cost of maintaining such an expensive thinking organ and the concomitant atrophy of our physical strength compared with other primates’. The Cognitive Revolution arose from the evolution of the massive human brain. The author structures this ambitious journey around three momentous events that have irrevocably shaped the destiny of humankind: the Cognitive Revolution, the Agricultural Revolution and the Scientific Revolution. “Sapiens” takes readers on a sweeping tour of the history of our species. Harari’s thinking is amplified in his new book, which has quickly become an international bestseller.
