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 Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with a groundbreaking narrative that begins 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition, tracing how biology and history have defined us and shaped our understanding of what it means to be human.
A #1 international bestseller rated 4.33/5 on Goodreads from over 1.2 million readers — praised as "an encyclopedic yet accessible sweep of human history." Trending among book lovers for its mind-expanding perspective and viral quotes like "Culture is more important than biology."
Perfect for fans of Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel and Rutger Bregman's Humankind. If you enjoy Homo Deus or 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, this is where Harari's acclaimed trilogy begins.
