Lectura más entretenida que certera. Tarea nada fácil la que tiene delante y que mantiene y expone en tan solo ~450 páginas de forma muy comprensible y fluida. Muy interesante, sobretodo hasta la tercera parte, que parece escribir con prisas y con cierto sesgo las bondades del imperialismo y el capitalismo. Escoge de forma confusa un tono defensivo inexistente hasta esa parte del libro. Infumable la última parte con aires de manual de auto ayuda New Age, como si quisiera tranquilizar a cualquier liberal que se haya podido sentir mal en las secciones anteriores. Me sorprende que pasemos de hablar y analizar de la revolución agrícola a recomendar la meditación para sentirnos más felices...

The frequent criticism of Sapiens I’ve read is that it’s too hard to differentiate between facts and fiction. A favourite book of mine “The Better Angels of Our Nature” is an example of a well researched book that has extensive citations to back its claims. Sapiens does fail short in that regard. However, IMHO, the criticism is unwarranted. I don’t think the author intended it to be an academic book. The subject covered is vast and is subject to interpretation.

What I found the most interesting about this book is the authors framing of the obvious things around us. It’s fascinating to think about both the past and the future from a different viewpoint. Don’t take this book as your university reference guide and you’re good.

No rating

Some extremely interesting bits about human history and prehistory and a variety of misconceptions busted. The hype behind this book seems justified, however, some very boring bits around the mid and the use of too simple language (at least in the English translation) were disheartening.
