One hundred thousand years ago, Homo sapiens was one of at least six species of humans living on this planet - an unremarkable animal that played a role in the ecosystem no greater than that of gorillas, fireflies, or jellyfish.... But about seventy thousand years ago, a mysterious change in the cognitive abilities of Homo sapiens transformed him into the master of the planet and a nightmare for the ecosystem. How did Homo sapiens manage to conquer the world? What happened to other human species? When and why did money, states, and religion emerge? How did empires rise and collapse? Why did almost all societies place women below men? How did science and capitalism become the dominant creeds of the modern era? Did people become happier over time? What future awaits us?
