We are all animals living in an alien zoo, where they run social experiments for fun. Like installing the biggest idiot as the leader of the most powerful country in the world. And then they watch us like some reality TV show. It’s really surreal what is happening in the world that it must be true.
I didn’t read Sapiens, but if this book claim that homo sapiens is responsible for the disappearing of Neanderthals, you can close it. This idea was disproven by research long ago: when sapiens arrived in Europe, Neanderthals were already on the verge of disappearing.
Eh, I’m not sure it was DECISIVELY DISPROVEN. Because in science, we start with the idea that “we just don’t know,” then proceed carefully from there.

Of course science evolves, but that shouldn’t be a reason for a vulgarization book to teach something else than the scientific consensus of the time.
