Instead of chronicling wars and kings, Harari examines three pivotal revolutions that transformed humanity: the Cognitive Revolution 70,000 years ago, the Agricultural Revolution 10,000 years ago, and the Scientific Revolution 500 years ago. The book’s central thesis is revolutionary: humans conquered the world not through physical strength or intelligence, but through our ability to believe in shared myths.
