Summary
Yuval Harari is the famous historian and his ted talk he explained about the ways in which imagination of humans powered the spread and growth of species of Homo sapiens in the entire world. Yuval stated that approximately 70,000 years before the world was occupied by juts woodpeckers, fireflies and jellyfish (Harari, np). He asked the audience about the reason why in today's world the larger part is occupied by the humans. He also talked about the similarities of human beings with other animals, regardless of the differences. He emphasized on the factor which makes human different than other animals and that is the human being is flexible and present in a larger amount. The other animals are also flexible but in smaller numbers. The cooperation of humans is easier than similar animals like chimpanzees. Yuval also said that the achievements gained by humans are on the bases that they collaborate on bigger or larger levels. However, he said that this cooperation is not always for the betterment, such that he pointed towards the criminal activities. The imagination is the sole purpose of flexibility in humans according to Yuval (Harari, np). On the contrary, animals use imagination for describing reality. He also said that just like religion, human rights and politics also work in the same way. He described living in a twofold reality whereas animals tend to live in an impartial reality. Therefore, we as humans value the fictional reality more than the objective one. He ended his talk on his new book which he was at that time translating into the English language. He told about this book that it will focus on the possibility of human division into the biological caste system. According to this system, the rich and useless majority people will elevate to the level of virtual gods (Harari, np).
