Original

My favorite book is “Sapiens, a brief history of human kind”. I love it because it explain a lot of big questions, it gives me a lot of answers of big questions through scientist and evolution way.

For example, it tells me why we like gossip, because when we talk about other’s gossip, actually we are stress our connections with others in the same group or community. Which connections has the essential thing for us to cooperate with each other ant cooperation is the reason why we donate this world instead other species.

So this book when I read this book, I consistently appended my notions on my understanding of this world and it fulfilled my curiosity of this world, so I love it.

Edited version

My favorite book is “Sapiens, a brief history of human kind”. I love it because it explains a lot of big questions. It has given me a lot of answers to big questions through scientific and evolutionary ways.

For example, it says why we like to gossip. The reason is that when we gossip with others, we actually strengthen our connections with them, especially in a same group or community.

(Building) relationships is the essential key for us when it comes to cooperating with each other and this is the reason why we dominate this world instead of other species.

So when I read this book, my understanding of this world was deeply re-shifted and my curiosity got fulfilled.

So I really love it.
