Civic Center Library

Conversation Space @ the Loft

Join us each month for a lively conversation centered on titles selected by staff within a variety of genres.

In this group we will discuss Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari.

"One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one--homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition."-- Provided by publisher.

This book club meets the third Wednesday of every month.
