Political philosopher John Gray talks with Yuval Noah Harari about his breath-taking ride through our entire human history: Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. Based on a series of lectures Harari taught at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Sapiens guides the reader from mankind’s evolutionary roots to the age of capitalism and genetic engineering, to uncover why we are the way we are.

An event from 2015 Jewish Book Week.
