It’s been recommended to death on HN, but Sapiens is a really interesting look at the development of humans. It uses a lot of philosophy to explain things.


Sorry in advance for this perhaps stupid question, but:

Which Sapiens exactly do you mean? Is it an article, a book, a documentary movie, a presentation such as a TED talk? Which is the full title?

I suppose you mean the book "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" (ISBN 978-0062316097), but I'm honestly not sure if I guessed correctly.


Yeah, that’s it. OP asked for books, so I figured that would be enough. Sorry for the confusion.


Use Occam's Razor?


Use proper URIs?

(Or in this case: an ISBN, which serves the same purpose. Unambiguous references are no longer an open issue. Open issue are: the lazyness to not use them, and persistent references (until either Bittorrent or IPFS is fully deployed).)


Yeah, I figured you had an axe to grind.


Please don't be rude in comments here, even when someone else had an axe to grind.


Yeah, and moreover, I should have stuck to providing links to some good books, like so many others have kindly done. Next time!
