The first volume of the graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari's global phenomenon and smash Sunday Times #1 bestseller, with gorgeous full-colour illustrations and a beautiful package - the perfect gift for the curious beings in your life.

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-colour 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-colour 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 wider new readership.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Prof. Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specializing in world history. His books have been translated into 65 languages, with 45 million copies sold worldwide. 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind' (2014) looked deep into our past, 'Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow' (2016) considered far-future scenarios, and '21 Lessons for the 21st Century' (2018) zoomed in on the biggest questions of the present moment. 'Sapiens: A Graphic History' (launched in 2020) is a radical adaptation of 'Sapiens' into a four-part graphic novel series, which Harari created and co-wrote in collaboration with comics artists David Vandermeulen (co-writer) and Daniel Casanave (illustrator). 'Unstoppable Us' (launched in 2022) is Harari's first book series for children, telling the epic true story of humans and our superpower in four volumes, and featuring illustrations by Ricard Zaplana Ruiz.

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.

I read the Sapian book some years ago and I must admit, I must have forgotten most of it. But this graphical (re) interpretation of it, I will probably never forget. A good bed time stories for the very youngest as well.

My son and I cuddle up most nights reading this 'comic' easy for kids to understand human history and how sapiens ended up being the smartest animals that existed. I read the book sapiens and I enjoyed it, but by reading the comic I captured more of mist relevant details.

Like the graphic novel concept, but wish there was an option to have this in portrait mode on the Kindle Scribe instead of landscape. Book two of this series is in portrait mode, which presents a better reading experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Graphic books are quite different
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2021

I've read the printed version of this book, skimmed it really. Harari is a great thinker, synthesist, and writer. But reading words is very left brain. The graphic presentation is right brain. To fully absorb the material, both books would be best. You can see I'm a fan of the graphic book! Just a note though, even though this is a graphic work of non-fiction does not mean that school kids will necessarily understand it, though they might if a caregiver or teacher guides them through the material. Also, adults and teens who don't believe in science or evolution will be unlikely to change their minds just from this book. The book is quite logical and well presented. However those who decry evolution use their emotional connections to religious doctrine, not their rational brains, to guide their views of evolution.

I have all three original books in this series. The author has veryinteresting points on human evolution history, especially for his comment on Humanism in the 2nd book - A Brief History of Tomorrow.

I bought this comic book for my children. I like my children to know brief human history from this comic book.

5.0 out of 5 stars La gran obra de Yuval para que lo disfruten los más jóvenes
Reviewed in Mexico on February 17, 2021
Verified Purchase
Puede ser que para un adolescente o un niño pensar en leer un gran libro de muchas páginas sea una tarea pesada a pesar de su ligera narrativa. Si esa misma obra está condensada por su autor y convertida en comic, es ideal para los más jóvenes. Mi hijo de 14 lo agotó en unas 4 sentadas, con un estilo de ilustración sencillo, súper agradable, Yuval nos da su versión corta del afamado Sapiens original. Un extraordinario libro para regalar a la familia y si es en pasta dura aún mejor. Es un bello libro para que nos acompañe en casa.
