NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The first volume of the graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari's
smash #1 New York Times and international bestseller recommended by
President Barack Obama and Bill Gates, with gorgeous full-color
illustrations and concise, easy to comprehend text for adult and young
adult readers alike.
One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans
inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one--homo sapiens. What
happened to the others? And what may happen to us?
In this first volume of the full-color illustrated adaptation of his
groundbreaking book, renowned historian Yuval Harari tells the story of
humankind's creation and evolution, exploring the ways in which biology
and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it
means to be "human." From examining the role evolving humans have played
in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens
challenges us to reconsider accepted beliefs, connect past developments
with contemporary concerns, and view specific events within the context
of larger ideas.
Featuring 256 pages of full-color illustrations and easy-to-understand
text covering the first part of the full-length original edition, this
adaptation of the mind-expanding book furthers the ongoing conversation
as it introduces Harari's ideas to a wide new readership.
