Cognitive Approach And Theories

This the first stage Harari has started from. He has best displayed this approach comparing with several different theories. When reading this book, you will feel how neatly he has explained the Cognitive approach as it was of utmost essential. Cognitive or intellectual revolution is the base of the other two revolutionary stages. Moreover, this stage will unveil the truth behind surviving, while other Sapiens failed to do so.

Agricultural revolution

The second stage is the agricultural revolution. And Harari feels this stage has done something more sorrowful than prideful. This was the stage where colonies of Sapiens polish themselves by creating a different way of living_ civilizations.

Harari portrays the Agricultural revolution as beneficial for Homo Sapiens but devastating for other species. In fact, he claims this stage as the biggest fraud of human history. Therefore, it’s much better to read this book in chunks with thick breaks so you can actually absorb what Sapiens want to tell you.

Scientific revolution

Reading Sapiens make you realize that science is not as compulsory for us like water. We have been living our lives with the blindfold of science fabric. Instead, science is the clone made but for us humans about 1500 years only.

But today, we have overlooked the role of the previous two approaches. We have been more modernized today with lots of advancement, introducing industrialization in all disciplines. But does it had made life more comfortable or the opposite? Are we humans are free to think and live? Sapiens make you realize that today’s human is imprisoned in the invisible aura of rat race science has induced in us.

Happiness Now And Then

Where Sapiens gives you so much to wonder about our ancestors and their revolutions, it also raises questions on our happiness. Harari has compelled us to awaken our consciences and ask if we are happy with so much advancement and diversities. Or our ages-old forefathers were luckier than us.
