In Sapiens, Dr Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical – and sometimes devastating – breakthroughs of the cognitive, agricultural and scientific revolutions.

Harari invites us to not only connect past developments with present challenges, but to question our basic narratives of the world; and to imagine how humankind will use its power to create in the decades to come.

Speaker: Yuval Noah Harari, lecturer in world history, Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Chair: Tom Feilden, science & environment correspondent, BBC Radio 4 Today programme.
