A renowned historian has written a ground-breaking account of human creation and evolution that is currently the number one international best seller. It examines how biology and history have shaped who we are and improved our understanding of what it means to be "human."

At least six different species of humans lived on Earth a hundred thousand years ago. Yet Homo sapiens is the only species alive today. How did the others fare? And what might occur to us?

Dr. Yuval Noah Harari defies convention with this highly original book, which begins roughly 70,000 years ago with the emergence of modern cognition. Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach. Sapiens integrates history and science to reevaluate conventional narratives, link historical developments with current issues, and examine specific events in the context of broader concepts. Topics covered in Sapiens range from examining the role that evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires.

Dr. Harari also forces us to consider the future because, in recent years, humans have started to defy natural selection laws that have sustained life for the previous four billion years.

We are developing the capacity to design both the environment and ourselves.

What do we want to become, and where is this taking us?

This thought-provoking book is a must-read for fans of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem. It will undoubtedly prompt discussion.
