- Seventy thousand years ago, our human ancestors were insignificant animals, just minding their own business in a corner of Africa with all the other animals. But now, few would disagree that humans dominate planet Earth; we've spread to every continent, and our actions determine the fate of other animals (and possibly Earth itself). How did we get from there to here? Historian Yuval Noah Harari suggests a surprising reason for the rise of humanity.

Sapiens: A brief History of Human Kind, the best book i have read....
“There’s simply no polite way to tell people they’ve dedicated their lives to an illusion” ~ Daniel Dennett
Consumption of psychedelic mushrooms
this talk is basically a summary of his book.
And God laughs on His throne.
By humans he meant him and his pals. Now they want to rule the whole world
I like and am glad that he says "human and other animals" instead of "human and animals"
The next question is: what is the best way to get rid of “useless people”?
This is what TED talks should be about. Paradigm shifting perspectives and revolutionary ideas.
His book, Sapiens, literally cured my depression.
"Take a human being, cut him open, look inside, and you will find no human rights there."
Got chills when he said , New Delhi 😮😮 as I am sitting and watching him over the Internet in new delhi
Kudos to the interviewer at the end .
1. Communication
I have always asked these questions since primary school
HIs "Sapiens" book brought me back to life from depression as it answered so many "Why" and "what for" questions and put all the things straight and clear. This has to be a mandatory history book to read in school, not all the crap that confuses people.
Why humans run the world | Yuval Noah Harari
This ted talk is literally his book in 17 minutes.
"If they took anyone of you, and placed you alone with a chimpanzee on an island, the chimpanzee would do better"
Those who focus on life being only tangible and material are ignoring things like love, art, honor and sacrifice - the things that bring meaning to one's life. The scariest part of the talk was the way he yalked about the end game. So many people he believes we need to dispose of!
