How did humans become the most dominant species on Earth, and what does our history reveal about who we are today?

In Sapiens, bestselling historian Yuval Noah Harari takes readers on an extraordinary journey through the history of humankind, from our earliest ancestors to the development of the modern world.

Exploring the evolution of human societies, the rise of agriculture, religion, money, and empires, Harari examines how our ability to cooperate, create shared beliefs, and shape our surroundings has transformed the planet.

Combining history, science, anthropology, and philosophy, Sapiens challenges familiar ideas about human progress and encourages readers to question where we came from and where we might be heading.

Fascinating, accessible, and thought-provoking, this international bestseller was named one of The Guardian's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century.
