Sapiens. De animales a dioses / Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind Tan Product Details El libro de no ficción del AÑO.Un best seller internacional con más de un millón de ejemplares vendidosLúcido e iluminador: la historia de la humanidad en un solo volumen.Este es el fascinante relato de nuestra extraordinaria historia: de simios sin importancia a amos del 100.000 años, al menos seis especies de humanos habitaban la Tierra. Hoy solo queda una, la nuestra: Homo sapiens.¿Cómo logró nuestra especie imponerse en la lucha por la existencia?¿Por qué nuestros ancestros recolectores se unieron para crear ciudades y reinos?¿Cómo llegamos a creer en dioses, en naciones o en los derechos humanos; a confiar en el dinero, en los libros o en las leyes?¿Cómo acabamos sometidos a la burocracia, a los horarios y al consumismo?¿Y cómo será el mundo en los milenios venideros?En De animales a dioses, Yuval Noah Harari traza una breve historia de la humanidad, desde los primeros humanos que caminaron sobre la Tierra hasta los radicales y a veces devastadores avances de las tres grandes revoluciones que nuestra especie ha protagonizado: la cognitiva, la agrícola y la científica. A partir de hallazgos de disciplinas tan diversas como la biología, la antropología, la paleontología o la economía, Harari explora cómo las grandes corrientes de la historia han modelado nuestra sociedad, los animales y las plantas que nos rodean e incluso nuestras personalidades.¿Hemos ganado en felicidad a medida que ha avanzado la historia?¿Seremos capaces de liberar alguna vez nuestra conducta de la herencia del pasado?¿Podemos hacer algo para influir en los siglos futuros?Audaz, ambicioso y provocador, este libro cuestiona todo lo que creíamos saber sobre el ser humano: nuestros orígenes, nuestras ideas, nuestras acciones, nuestro poder... y nuestro futuro.- El fuego nos dio poder.- La conversación hizo posible que cooperáramos.- La agricultura alimentó nuestra ambición.- La mitología sostuvo la ley y el orden.- El dinero ofreció algo en lo que confiar.- Las contradicciones crearon la cultura.- La ciencia nos hizo imparables.Reseñas:«Aborda las cuestiones más importantes de la historia y del mundo modernos, y además está escrito con un estilo vívido e inolvidable.»Jared Diamond«Renueva la creencia en la capacidad de decidir de los propios lectores. El éxito más sorprendente y renovador de un libro de no ficción de la última década.»Shmuel Rosner, editor original (Israel)ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONNew York Times BestsellerFrom a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity's creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be "human."One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us?Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become?Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem.

  1. IMPORTANT!! This seller does NOT respond to messages, which to me is HUGELY problematic. He's also just an Amazon re-seller, which makes you wonder how much you've overpaid for an item. However, the item did arrive very quickly and from where the seller stated it was located(but from Amazon). It was also as described, and exactly the correct specification. I will not buy from this individual again, but, I did get what I ordered. I just probably overpaid for it. My bad.
