Sapiens : a graphic history
(Book, Graphic Novel)

Description based on volume one.

Adapted from the book Sapiens: a brief history of humankind written by Yuval Noah Harari, originally published in Hebrew in 2011 as Ḳitsur toldot ha-enoshut.

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 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.
