Too much fluff

We he said in 17 hours could have been said in 2 hours. I wish he would have just gotten to the point.

published in 1999
Revisado: 10-30-19
I was surprised to find that this book was published in 1999. one would not know by looking at the information on Audible. I assume not much has changed, but such information would definitely impact my decision to purchase the book. Assuming that the information is still accurate, the book is excellent.

Historia
Renowned linguistic anthropologist Don Kulick first went to study the tiny jungle village of Gapun in New Guinea over 30 years ago to document how it was that their native language, Tayap, was dying. But you can't study a language without settling in among the people, understanding how they speak every day, and even more, how they live. This book takes us inside the village as Kulick came to know it, revealing what it is like to live in a difficult-to-get-to village of 200 people, carved out like a cleft in the middle of a swamp, in the middle of a tropical rainforest.

Good info but also unnecessary left wing political
Revisado: 09-12-19
This book contains good information and is overall well-written. However, the repeated comments on "white privilege" were gratuitous, annoying, and added nothing to the reader's understanding of anything but the author's political views. Such commentary cannot help but make one wonder if a more neutral person would have had a different analysis on some things. The book would have been much better had the author just stuck to the subject matter and used plain descriptions when discrepancies were a substantive part of the analysis. However, the basic facts seem to be well-documented and informative.

Historia
Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.

Liberal philosophy, not science or history.
Revisado: 05-21-19
This book is 5% historical facts and 95% liberal philosophy. I was hoping to learn something about the historical development of humans, but this book is all liberal philosophy on how wrong we are for being wbo we are. There is vertually no science about how we got to where we are. Very disappointing.
