From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity’s creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.”
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?
Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.
Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become?
Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem.

100,000 Years Ago, At Least Six Human Species Inhabited The Earth. Today There Is Just One. Us. Homo Sapiens. How Did Our Species Succeed In The Battle For Dominance? Why Did Our Foraging Ancestors Come Together To Create Cities And Kingdoms? How Did We Come To Believe In Gods, Nations And Human Rights; To Trust Money, Books And Laws; And To Be Enslaved By Bureaucracy, Timetables And Consumerism? And What Will Our World Be Like In The Millennia To Come? In Sapiens, Dr Yuval Noah Harari Spans The Whole Of Human History, From The Very First Humans To Walk The Earth To The Radical âe And Sometimes Devastating âe Breakthroughs Of The Cognitive, Agricultural And Scientific Revolutions. Drawing On Insights From Biology, Anthropology, Palaeontology And Economics, He Explores How The Currents Of History Have Shaped Our Human Societies, The Animals And Plants Around Us, And Even Our Personalities. Have We Become Happier As History Has Unfolded? Can We Ever Free Our Behaviour From The Heritage Of Our Ancestors? And What, If Anything, Can We Do To Influence The Course Of The Centuries To Come? Bold, Wide-ranging And Provocative, Sapiens Challenges Everything We Thought We Knew About Being Human: Our Thoughts, Our Actions, Our Power ... And Our Future. 'here Is A Simple Reason Why Sapiens Has Risen Explosively To The Ranks Of An International Bestseller. It Tackles The Biggest Questions Of History And Of The Modern World, And It Is Written In Unforgettably Vivid Language. You Will Love It!' - Jared Diamond
