“The true tragedy of a routinely spent life is that its wastefulness does not become apparent till it is too late.”
Amitav Ghosh, The Hungry Tide

Yuval Noah Harari
“The human collective knows far more today than did the ancient bands. But at the individual level, ancient foragers were the most knowledgeable and skilful people in history.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Yuval Noah Harari
“On a hike in East Africa 2 million years ago, you might well have encountered a familiar cast of human characters: anxious mothers cuddling their babies and clutches of carefree children playing in the mud; temperamental youths chafing against the dictates of society and weary elders who just wanted to be left in peace; chest-thumping machos trying to impress the local beauty and wise old matriarchs who had already seen it all. These archaic humans loved, played, formed close friendships and competed for status and power – but so did chimpanzees, baboons and elephants. There was nothing special about humans. Nobody, least of all humans themselves, had any inkling that their descendants would one day walk on the moon, split the atom, fathom the genetic code and write history books. The most important thing to know about prehistoric humans is that they were insignificant animals with no more impact on their environment than gorillas, fireflies or jellyfish.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Yuval Noah Harari
“Homo sapiens, too, belongs to a family. This banal fact used to be one of history’s most closely guarded secrets. Homo sapiens long preferred to view itself as set apart from animals, an orphan who has no family, no cousins, and – most importantly – no parents. But that’s just not the case. Like it or not, we are members of a large and particularly noisy family called the great apes. Our nearest living relatives include chimpanzees, gorillas and orang-utans. The chimpanzees are the closest. Just 6 million years ago, a single female ape had two daughters. One became the ancestor of all chimpanzees, the other is our own grandmother.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Stephen Alter
“Humanity is a deceptive noun that suggests our best qualities as a species, though it often masks prejudice and inequity.”
Stephen Alter, In the Jungles of the Night: A Novel about Jim Corbett
