Bill Gates wants everyone to take this free online course because it explains origin and future of humans - Shweta Ganjoo, India Today

We all know that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is an avid reader. Over the years the business manganate has shared numerous book recommendations on his blog. The list of his recommended books include Walter Isaacson's Leonardo Da Vinci, Kate Bowler's Everything Happens For A Reason and Neal Stephenson's Sebeneves among others. And now Gates in his blog has listed another recommendation. But this time it's not a book but an online course. Gates, in a recent post on his blog, recommended an course online titled "Big History" by an Australian historian Christian David. Interestingly, unlike most online courses this one is absolutely free. "As the creator of Big History- my favorite course of all time- David is well-suited to write about how we came to be," he wrote in his blog praising the author. https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/news/story/bill-gates-wants-everyone-to-take-this-free-online-course-because-it-explains-origin-and-future-of-humans-1247768-2018-06-01
