Human species success story-Fictional reality-Yuval Noah Harari

What is the success story behind the success of human species over other animal species,Harari argues that it is mainly due to our ablity to collaborate in large numbers especially around a fictional reality.A compelling and inspiring talk to watch.

Harari’s central thesis is that Homo sapiens rules the world because it is the only animal that believes in things that exist purely in its own imagination, such as gods, states, money and human rights. Starting from this provocative idea, his book goes on to retell the history of our species from a completely fresh perspective. It explains that capitalism is the most successful religion ever invented; that empire is the most fruitful political system ever created; that the treatment of animals in modern agriculture is probably the worst crime in history; that humans are in the process of upgrading themselves into gods; and that even though we are far more powerful than our ancestors, we aren’t much happier.
