If you were told today that you come from a lineage of animals, and probably have some apes and chimpanzees as long-lost cousins, what would you think? If you knew that the creation story was just make-believe invented to control your world, what would you say? What if you were told that your species would one day come to an end? All of these and many more are the topics explored in Sapiens. Note: This is a summary and review of the book Sapiens and not the original book.

For 100.000 år siden var Jorden beboet af mindst seks menneskearter. I dag er der kun en tilbage: Os. Homo sapiens. Hvorfor endte lige praecis vores art med at herske over kloden? Hvordan kunne vores jaeger- og samlerforfaedre enes om at bygge byer og skabe kongeriger? Hvorfor begyndte vi at tro på guder, nationer og menneskerettigheder? At have tillid til penge, bøger og love? Og vaere slaver af bureaukrati, tidsplaner og forbrugerisme? Og hvordan vil vores verden udvikle sig i det naeste årtusinde?

Сто тысяч лет назад Homo sapiens был одним из как минимум шести видов человека, живших на этой планете, — ничем не примечательным животным, которое играло в экосистеме роль не большую, чем гориллы, светлячки или медузы. Но около семидесяти тысяч лет назад загадочное изменение когнитивных способностей Homo sapiens превратило его в хозяина планеты и кошмар экосистемы. Как человек разумный сумел покорить мир? Что стало с другими видами человека? Когда и почему появились деньги, государства и религия? Как возникали и рушились империи?

La procrastinación tiene un origen, y no es otro que la perfección del ser humano en sus mecanismos de eficiencia energética. Hacer algo siempre consume más energía que no hacerlo; comerse ese trozo de pastel aunque no se tenga hambre no es más que la respuesta natural de mecanismos que se han ido perfeccionando a lo largo de millones de años de evolución. Pedro Vivar nos ofrece las claves para entender el funcionamiento de la procrastinación y desarrollar al máximo nuestras capacidades físicas y mentales.

This audiobook follows our ascendancy from just another hominin to the alpha hegemon on Earth today endangering its entire future. Along the way, humans outwitted their competition with phenomenal efficiency to emerge in the 21st century as the linchpin of a mass extinction of countless lifeforms cohabiting their planet. The shredding of our ecosphere by overconsumption of Earth’s resources by this species, and the combustion of deadly fossil fuels to acquire the energy needed to sustain their lifestyle, is threatening to drive Homo sapiens to extinction within the next 300 years.
