Nishant J’s Reviews > Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind > Status Update

Over the weekend, I completely grinded and tried to read as much as I could. I read for roughly 5 hours on Sunday and almost finished this incredible book. It is filled with information and is enlightening and I feel as if I have never read such an interesting book before. It talked about the importance of humans on the environment and the development of society. I am in awe.

Today I read more about the evolution of humans over time and a comparison to humans of the past to humans today.

Today I read a lot more about the development of humans. The author in these pages went on to discuss the qualities of foraging societies and how ancient hunter-gatherers may have actually been smarter than humans today. In the past, humans were required to learn how to navigate their environment, what foods/plants were appropriate, and how to survive on the bare planet earth.

This book is so interesting and I am very invested in the author's writing. The book is so elaborate and goes very in depth in human history and I feel enlightened.

This book is already extremely interesting and today I read about how fiction holds us together as a society. The author also talked about how we come together as humans through the use of myths and storytelling.
