Harari's work situates its account of human history within a framework: he sees the natural sciences as setting the limits of possibility for human activity and sees the social sciences as shaping what happens within those bounds. While it was positively received by the general public, scholars with relevant subject matter expertise have been very critical of its scientific and historical claims. The account is situated within a framework that intersects the natural sciences with the social sciences. The book, focusing on Homo sapiens, surveys the history of humankind, starting from the Stone Age and going up to the twenty-first century.
