Yuval Noah Harari
“If a forager band split once every forty years and its splinter group migrated to a new territory sixty miles to the east, the distance from East Africa to China would have been covered in about 10,000 years.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Yuval Noah Harari
“Even today, with all our advanced technologies, more than 90 per cent of the calories that feed humanity come from the handful of plants that our ancestors domesticated between 9500 and 3500 BC – wheat, rice, maize (called ‘corn’ in the US), potatoes, millet and barley.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Yuval Noah Harari
“If we knew how many species we’ve already eradicated, we might be more motivated to protect those that still survive. This is especially relevant to the large animals of the oceans.”

Yuval Noah Harari
“Homo sapiens drove to extinction about half of the planet’s big beasts long before humans invented the wheel, writing, or iron tools.”
