Yuval Noah Harari

Harari in 2017 Yuval Noah Harari ( ; born 1976) is an Israeli medievalist, military historian, public intellectual, and writer. He currently serves as professor in the Department of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is the author of the popular science bestsellers ''Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind'' (2011), ''Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow'' (2016), ''21 Lessons for the 21st Century'' (2018), and ''Nexus'' (2024). His writings examine themes of free will, consciousness, intelligence, happiness, and suffering.

Harari writes about a "cognitive revolution" that supposedly occurred roughly 70,000 years ago when ''Homo sapiens'' supplanted the rival Neanderthals and other species of the genus ''Homo'', developed language skills and structured societies, and ascended as apex predators, aided by the agricultural revolution and accelerated by the Scientific Revolution, which have allowed humans to approach near mastery over their environment. His books also examine the possible consequences of a futuristic biotechnological world in which intelligent biological organisms are surpassed by their own creations; he has said, "''Homo sapiens'' as we know them will disappear in a century or so".

Harari's first book, ''Sapiens'', is based on his lectures to an undergraduate world history class. Provided by Wikipedia
