Abstract

This work presents a review of the book “Sapiens” by Yuval Noah Harari, exploring his biography, book data and editions, as well as a detailed summary of its main ideas. It focuses on key revolutions such as the Cognitive, which enabled cooperation through shared fictions, and the Agricultural, seen as a trap that worsened human quality of life. Through analysis and reflections, it examines how these transformations have unified and shaped humanity up to the current scientific era. Ultimately, the book reveals the rise of Homo sapiens from animals to near-divine entities, questioning our future.
