Dr. Yuval Noah Harari
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
During the last 500 years the process of human unification was completed.

Humankind has become increasingly convinced that the only thing that limits its power is its own ignorance, and that the discovery of new knowledge can enable it to do almost anything. How is the modern scientific tradition different from all previous traditions of knowledge? What accounts for its sudden rise and for its unparalleled achievements?
