After reading "Homo Sapiens," I wanted to learn more about human history.
Humans control the world by telling stories and working together.
Many types of humans, like Neanderthals and Denisovans, and many animals, are extinct because of humans.
Humans have changed the planet a lot, both in good ways (like making technology) and bad ways (like harming the environment).
The book mentions ancient people from places like Sunghir, Ohalo, Lascaux, and Stadel.
We are the most dangerous animals

After reading his book, I was inspired to see the world anew.
I only discovered the astounding sensory capabilities of animals and each animal's unique sensory capabilities.
Dogs are masters of smell, but note that their large ears.
Owls are masters of hearing, but note their large eyes.
I learned a lot from this book:

2. Dogs can smell cancer cells and other diseases.
3. Elephants use infrasound to communicate with each other over long distances.
4. Birds can see ultraviolet light, which helps them to find food and navigate.
5. And many more.
I gained a deeper understanding of the world and the amazing creatures sharing it with us.

I kept this book on my TBR list for so long, it's time to read it!
I'm curious to learn how genes influence us.
Richard Dawkins argues that genes prioritize their replication, with organisms acting as vehicles for this process.
This focus on gene replication, according to Dawkins, can lead to significant evolutionary changes over time.
Could humans one day evolve to look like the E.T. from the 1982 film? I don't know.
