#Sapiens

Seventy thousand years ago, our human ancestors were insignificant animals, just minding their own business in a corner of Africa with all the other animals. But now, few would disagree that humans dominate planet Earth; we've spread to every continent, and our actions determine the fate of other animals (and possibly Earth itself). How did we get from there to here? Historian Yuval Noah Harari suggests a surprising reason for the rise of humanity.

Kira-kira dua setengah juta tahun lalu, leluhur purba manusia menghidupi benua Afrika dan lima ratus tahun kemudian mereka mulai menjelajah keluar benua Afrika, tinggal di tempat baru sambil terus berevolusi. Dimulai dari Homo Erectus, Homo Neanderthaliensis, Homo Luzonensis, Homo Floresiensis, hingga Homo Sapiens dan Homo Luzonensis (yang baru-baru ini diketemukan). Dari perjalanan itu, kemampuan bertahan hidup mereka pun berevolusi hingga memunculkan revolusi kognitif yang nyatanya mampu membawa Homo Sapiens bertahan hingga saat ini. Apa yang membuat Homo Sapiens berhasil memunculkan revolusi kognitif? Dari keberhasilan itu, nyatanya Homo Sapiens mulai memiliki keunggulan dibanding makhluk lain hingga manusia menjadi berdampak besar ke lingkungan. Semakin beradab manusia, semakin besar pengaruh kita terhadap lingkungan (penghancuran habitat, pencemaran, sampai perubahan iklim). Apa dampaknya bagi lingkungan dan peradaban manusia ke depan? Bersama dengan Cania Citta, Head of Content Geolive dan Andhyta F. Utami, Environmental Economist & Co-Founder Think Policy Society, kita akan berbincang tentang arti khusus bahasan Sapiens bagi pembaca perempuan dan kaum muda serta peran apa yang bisa kita kontribusikan terhadap perubahan iklim dari pembacaan Sapiens (dan Sapiens Grafis).
