Human nature play kind
of like main role currently in this world even tough we only here less than a
million years but we change so many things in this world for the better or for
the worst in my perspective mostly we do a lot of bad things to mother earth
because of human so many animals go extinct in the name of meeting the demand
and scarcity,humans tend to think that we are better than other species and we
are like the best produce of evolution based on what I read from this book is
what makes human can achieve everything as a species is because we have our
ways of communication,language we do work in a group we have “things” that
unite us together currently that things is money despite everything we live in
capitalist society and money quite unite us people get separated all the time
because race,religion,country,ideology and etc but we all always can come
together and work as a team as long as we have money.Human nature role in
societal and individual development play a big system also most of the
time a baby or children develop to build
to fit into society or societal norms and value.
Why did Homo sapiens suddenly
flood the planet when our ancestors didn’t do so after millions of years?
Harari attributes it to our language–we’re the
only species that can imagine and communicate about things that don’t
exist. An ape may be able to communicate to another ape that there’s a lion by
the river, but only a Sapien can imagine and convey that the lion is the guardian
spirit of his tribe. This frees us up to invent philosophies, religions,
trade networks, and political institutions, without being limited to our
genetic evolution or current environment. Our myths and common beliefs—e.g.
God, imperial glory, human rights—also allow us to get large numbers of
strangers to work together in ways that other species can’t,we elaborate on the
vital role of our language/imagined orders in
Sapiens’ rise to the top of the food-chain, how our hunter-gatherer lifestyle shaped our biological,
psychological and social traits, and why/how Sapiens wrought mass-destruction and extinction to every
continent we settled in.
How can we use this
knowledge to be better as an individual and larger scale is as an individual we
should try to take a better care on earth after so many destruction that
mankind cause in very short time compare to other species,understanding so many
things that could break us apart such as religions,political institution and
try to work on a myth that actually make a positive impact in the world and
working as a team to make those “myths” happens
such as human rights,equal rights,etc.
