Sapiens Vol. 1: The Birth of Humankind

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 full-color illustrated adaptation of his book, historian Yuval Harari tells the story of humankind's evolution, exploring the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be "human." Sapiens challenges us to reconsider accepted beliefs, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and view specific events within the context of larger ideas.
