Sapiens / Homo Deus

Sapiens is an utterly fascinating book that provides a plethora of insight into the history of homo sapiens. This book though would probably not be good to have in any classroom except for maybe the more advanced high school classrooms. This book has a lot of vocabulary that will be new to most students which may require them to constantly walk over to the dictionary. For students who are interested to mankind this book would be great since it provides tons of information about how humans have lived and evolved since they first appeared on the planet. ( )

These were difficult reads, only because I had to stop and think so often about the questions he raised. Sapiens was the more difficult. I was a bit disappointed in Homo deus, as he reached the climactic discussion of Home deus and then there were more chapters on what might lie beyond. ( )
