This is The Sunday Times Bestseller. Planet
Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a
fraction of that time, one species among
countless others has conquered it. Us. We are
the most advanced and most destructive animals
ever to have lived. What makes us brilliant?
What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens? In
this bold and provocative book, Yuval Noah
Harari explores who we are, how we got here and
where we're going. Sapiens is a thrilling
account of humankind's extraordinary history -
from the Stone Age to the Silicon Age - and our
journey from insignificant apes to rulers of the
world. "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, author of Guns,
Germs and Steel)
