This episode focuses on chapter two of Harari’s book, the Anthropocene, the age of man. Harari observes that the world is now mainly populated by humans and their domesticated animals. Wild animals exist only on the margins, and many of them have gone or are going extinct. Harari talks about the Agricultural Deal and explains how theistic religions arose to help early farmers justify the domestication of animals. On the other hand, many aspects of Homo sapien religion did not change in the Agricultural Revolution. We will explore these unchanged aspects and discuss what it tells us about Homo sapiens.
