Sapiens– A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
In Sapiens– A Brief History of Humankind, Professor Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the way we are now. The best thing about this book is how, unlike other books of its kind, Sapiens takes a multi-disciplinary approach that links history, biology, philosophy and economics in a very exciting way.
