Reviews
""This appealing first volume elucidates often misunderstood basics of human evolution (i.e., that until 50,000 years ago, there used to be at least six species of humans) while also unraveling knotty existential questions about humanity's role on this planet. Young science enthusiasts and adult philosophers alike will want to pick up this smart, snappy work."" -- Publishers Weekly ""In a manner that is both playful and provocative, Harari teams with co-creators adept at the graphic format to enliven his academic studies....An informative, breathless sprint through the evolution and consequences of human development."" -- Kirkus Reviews
Sapiens is learned, thought-provoking and crisply written.... Fascinating. --Wall Street Journal “Yuval Noah Harari's full-throated review of our species may have been blurbed by Jared Diamond, but Harari's conclusions are at once balder and less tendentious than that of his famous colleague. --New York magazine Sapiens takes readers on a sweeping tour of the history of our species.... Harari's formidable intellect sheds light on the biggest breakthroughs in the human story...important reading for serious-minded, self-reflective sapiens. --Washington Post
