Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari (Hardcover)

The Book That Changed How the World Thinks About Itself

One hundred thousand years ago, at least six species of human walked the earth. Today, only one remains. How did Homo sapiens come to dominate the planet — building cities, empires, religions, and stock markets — while every other human species vanished? And what does our extraordinary past tell us about who we are, and where we are going?

In Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari sweeps across the entire span of human history — from the Stone Age to the Silicon Age — to ask the biggest questions of all: What made us human? What makes us powerful? And what have we lost along the way? With breathtaking scope, intellectual daring, and remarkable clarity, Harari challenges everything we thought we knew about what it means to be human.

This premium hardcover edition is a collector's quality presentation of one of the most important books of the twenty-first century.
