Sapiens: A Graphic History: The Birth of Humankind (Vol. 1)

It is an iron rule of history that what looks inevitable in hindsight was far from obvious at the time." Harari's hindsight in Sapiens is a wide 70,000-year canvas, a grand-scheme history of homo sapiens and a work of sometimes jaw-dropping surprises. How exciting that Harari has reinterpreted this unconventional, provoking and thoughtful book into graphic narrative form. The beauty of the illustrations and the distillation of the arching story to a frame-by-frame, cinematic telling will surely capture new readers and captivate those already familiar.
