Teach history of humankind, not nations, in schools: Yuval Noah Harari at India Today Conclave

In a world where so many are fighting over identities and micro-identities, one effective mechanism by which loyalty to humankind can be encouraged is through teaching in schools history of humankind and not just history of nations or cultures or religions, said Yuval Noah Harari.

Author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind and Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, Harari also said, “If from an early age a child starts learning about the history of humankind as well as the history of one’s political group(s), a change can be brought about in thinking solutions to the problems presently facing us.”
