About This Book

A history of human development intertwined with capital and technology from the time life first appeared on earth to the 21st century. A hundred thousand years ago, there were at least six human species on earth. Why are we the only ones left today? We were once an insignificant group in a corner of Africa, with an impact on the ecosystem that was no different from that of fireflies, chimpanzees, or jellyfish. How did we climb to the top of the food chain and become the rulers of the earth? "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" attempts to give the most precise and concise answer to all of this.

The core answer in this book is that the deepest and most fundamental force behind the brilliant civilization created by humans from ancient times to today lies in the cognitive revolution driven by imagination. And its way of tracing the history of human civilization from ancient times to high-tech modern society through the perspective of "the species" is its greatest innovation.

Core Content

"Sapiens" is divided into four main parts: the cognitive revolution, the agricultural revolution, the unification of humankind, and the scientific revolution. The book argues that the unique language ability of the "sapiens" species allows us to imagine virtual objects, thus organizing complex societies, and gaining higher evolutionary efficiency through the division of labor and cooperation. At the same time, this ability also plunged most individuals into more miserable conditions, from ancient peasants oppressed by divine and royal power to modern workers exploited by capitalism and consumerism. Every revolution and leap hasn't fundamentally changed this model but pushed its pros and cons to more extremes: the more developed human imagination is, the more profound the suffering faced by each individual.
