“The beauty of science is that it is always evolving: new discoveries are forever changing our understanding of the world. This book’s authors and editorial team have made an effort to ensure that its representation of historical events is based on the latest scientific research available at the time of writing. Many disputes persist among scholars about the interpretation of particular pieces of archaeological, genetic and textual evidence, and some of these debates may never be satisfactorily resolved. Future discoveries and innovations could upend our understanding of the past, and we should all look forward to such breakthroughs. But this does not mean that everything is debatable. It can be said with certainty that several species of humans existed in the past, that the last remaining human species, Homo sapiens, domesticated plants and animals, unlocked the laws of nature and created globe-spanning empires using the power of stories. Every year we are learning more about how these transformations unfolded, and how they helped create the world that we now inhabit”.
Excerpts from Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari. Thought it would be relevant to think in these lines.
