  Abstract:  
Y. N. Harari, From Sapiens to Deus. This article considers the two most recent books by Y. N. Harari, Sapiens (2011) and Homo Deus (2015) and tries to critically discuss the main themes: the cognitive, agricultural, scientific (including industrial), and humanist revolutions. The author’s fundamental ignorance of the central development of language and mind within the human communicational situation prevents him from capturing the real dynamism of Homo Sapiens’ emergence and his/her future. This leads the author to a purely dystopic vision of the future.

Keywords: articulated language, out-of-Black-Africa, mind/language, phylogeny, psychogenesis.
