he first chapter of this reading talks about the evolution of humans, how we emerged from animals to become Homo sapiens.

The author mentions in this chapter that he prefers not to mention the word "Homo sapiens" because, at this point, he considers that we are not yet Homo sapiens as we know them today. He explains that there was a monkey and its offspring, one of which evolved into the

grandmother of all of us, while the other remained simply a chimpanzee

Throughout periods in history myths and metaphysics have been central to the development of human cultures and societies.

They provide human beings with the ways of making sense of the world and the means of explaining natural phenomena. What exactly persists in that relevance?

Meaning and purpose: myths are stories that provide people with a sense of meaning and purpose.

They outline the perceived beginnings of the universe and the fate of man, and as such give people a grip on their very existence.

The emergence of agriculture brought drastic changes in the way of life of human beings, such as sedentarization, population increase, and the creation of hierarchical societies.

Harari argues that the adoption of agriculture was not an inevitable step or an inevitable advance towards a better life, but a choice with its own costs and benefits.

While agriculture allowed population growth and the development of complex civilizations, it also led to the emergence of social inequality, hard labor, and greater dependence on natural resources.

Harari explores the revolutionary change that marked the beginning of the agricultural period: the Flood. This is not a literal flood, but a metaphor representing the inundation of the hunter-gatherer world by agriculture.
