Sapiens: A Review Under the Perspective of The Evolutionary Neuroscience

What is it about?

In this work we present a critical review of the book: Sapiens: A Brief History of Humanity, by Yuval Noah Harari, version translated into Portuguese, published in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in 2017. Although the book brings contributions to several areas of science, our approach intends to evaluate only the ideas related to the field of evolutionary neuroscience in general, especially regarding the behavioral origins, social and emotional aspects of our species treated by the author. Thus, we understand that this book brings important ruminations about the proposed themes, fulfilling a dual function. First, acting as an instrument for the dissemination of science to the lay public. Second, discussing important aspects of the evolutionary neuroscience, for the academic and scientific community.
