Funny part is that when I see now the article I read this
> Yuval Noah Harari’s first book, Sapiens, was an international sensation. The Israeli historian’s mind-bending tour through the trump of Homo sapiens is a favorite of, among others, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Barack Obama.

- mirimir 10y agoHelp, please. What does "the trump of Homo sapiens" mean? Victory in natural selection? Wouldn't that be "the trump by Homo sapiens"? English is strange.
- Mikeb85 10y agoIf one thing trumps another, it means the first thing displaces or achieves victory over the second. "Trump of homo sapiens" means they were victorious, as they trumped the other party.
- mirimir 10y agoThanks. I'm familiar with "trump" as a verb. But not as a noun. And I've always had trouble with "of". So "the victory of Homo sapiens" is sounding better now.
- bizzleDawg 10y agoI feel like there's a chance that they wanted to say 'triumph' but muscle memory took over after 'tr'
- billforsternz 10y agoPretty sure it's just a typo and they meant "triumph".
