3 quotes from Sapiens

  • "Homo sapiens rules the world because we are the only animals that can cooperate flexibly in large numbers. This ability to form complex social structures has allowed us to build societies, economies, and civilizations that stretch across the globe."
  • "The imagined order is the most powerful force in the world. Unlike the physical features that define our reality, the imagined orders can unite millions of people under a common belief system, transforming societies through shared narratives."
  • "History began when humans invented gods, and they began to worship those gods, they began to invent cultures, and go beyond their animal instincts, leading to modern civilization as we know it today."
