Yet today there is only one―homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book of big history that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas. Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become? Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful world history graphic novel is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem. This graphic adaptation brings Dr. Harari’s groundbreaking analysis to life, exploring the biggest questions about our species: Human Evolution: A look at the other human species that walked the Earth―and an investigation into why only Homo Sapiens survived. The Cognitive Revolution: Journey back 70,000 years to the moment that changed everything, when our ancestors began to think in new ways and cooperate in massive numbers. Biology Meets History: A unique approach that integrates science and history to challenge everything you thought you knew about our shared past. The Future of Humanity: A provocative look ahead at how our species is beginning to bend the laws of natural selection and what it might mean for our future. Review: Must read!!!!!! - Sapiens is a remarkable book that takes you on a journey through the entire history of humankind, from the dawn of our species to the present and beyond. It is a book that challenges many of the assumptions we have about ourselves, our cultures, our religions, and our future. It is a book that makes you think, question, and wonder. The author, Yuval Noah Harari, is a brilliant historian and a captivating storyteller. He combines insights from various disciplines, such as biology, anthropology, psychology, and philosophy, to weave a fascinating narrative that covers the major events and transformations that shaped our world and our species. He does not shy away from controversial topics, such as the role of human violence, the origin of money, the impact of science, and the prospects of artificial intelligence. He also offers his own perspective on the big questions, such as what makes us human, what gives meaning to our lives, and what lies ahead for us. Sapiens is a book that will make you see the world in a new light. It is a book that will enrich your knowledge, broaden your horizons, and stimulate your imagination. It is a book that will change the way you understand yourself and others. It is a book that everyone should read. Review: What a fantastic alternative medium to the original format! - I loved Sapiens the book despite a few caveats like missing Heron of Alexandria (steam), awesomeness like the Antikythera Device, and suggesting England in the middle ages was a backwater. During the first century and a half of the Norman period in the high middle ages it flourished until anti-jewish pogroms murdered or made refugees of thousands, misogyny ruined women lead businesses, and the dreaded beast of climate change ended an incredible era of prosperity with William the Bastard commonly known as the Conqueror being most likely the richest person in the world (the Mansa Musa of the 11th century CE) and PPP for the average person was excellent for that century and a half much like during the brief Norman Sicilian Renaissance. Onto this book though it has a solid and well made hard cover. The paper is thick matte stock which surprised me differing from most "comic book" style graphic novels but it is good enough to have good color retention. The art is good reminding me more of something in the 1980s made for educational purposes released by a textbook company or government office more than a modern graphic novel. Or like a comic in the newspaper like Dennis the Menace. I've been reading the book to my young child today and we've been enjoying its prose and he really likes the art more than I do. He particularly liked the mammoths and the Bering strait portion because it reminded him of the Ice Age movies. Highly recommend it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #11,007 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9 in Educational & Nonfiction Graphic Novels #25 in History & Philosophy of Science (Books) #26 in History of Civilization & Culture | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,114 Reviews | ## Images ![Sapiens: A Graphic History Vol. 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nQ+oGgI3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must read!!!!!! *by M***S on March 3, 2024* Sapiens is a remarkable book that takes you on a journey through the entire history of humankind, from the dawn of our species to the present and beyond.
