  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?
  In this first volume of the adaptation of his ground-breaking book,
renowned historian Yuval Harari tells the story of humankind's creation and
evolution, exploring the ways in which biology and history have defined us
and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be 'human'. From
examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to
charting the rise of empires, Sapiens challenges us to reconsider accepted beliefs, connect past
developments with contemporary concerns, and view specific events within the
context of larger ideas.
  Featuring easy-to-understand text covering the first part of the original
edition, this adaptation of the mind-expanding book furthers the ongoing
conversation as it introduces Harari's ideas to a wider new readership.
