Description

The first volume of the graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari's bestseller, a #1 New York Times and international bestseller recommended by President Barack Obama and Bill Gates, featuring full-color illustrations and concise, easy-to-understand text for readers of all ages. 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 Noah Harari tells the story of humankind’s creation and evolution, exploring how biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.” From examining the roles 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 introduces Harari’s ideas to a wide new readership.
