Even though we'll never outrun a hungry lion or outswim an angry shark,
humans are pretty impressive--and we're the most dominant species on the
planet. So how exactly did we become "unstoppable"?
The answer to that is one of the strangest tales you'll ever hear. And
it's a true story.
From learning to make fire and using the stars as guides to cooking
meals in microwaves and landing on the moon, prepare to uncover the
secrets and superpowers of how we evolved from our first appearances
millions of years ago.
Acclaimed author Yuval Noah Harari has expertly crafted an extraordinary
story of how humans learned to not only survive but also thrive on
Earth, complete with maps, a timeline, and full-color illustrations that
bring his dynamic, unputdownable writing to life.
