- Book 2 of 4: Sapiens: a Graphic History
An epic, illustrated graphic history of how the Agricultural Revolution reshaped humanity.
When nomadic Homo sapiens settled to live in one place, they started working harder and harder. But why didn't they get a better life in return?
In The Pillars of Civilization, Yuval Noah Harari and his companions including Prof. Saraswati and Dr. Fiction travel the length and breadth of human history to investigate how the Agricultural Revolution changed society forever. Discover how wheat took over the world, how war, famine, disease and inequality became a part of the human condition, and why we might only have ourselves to blame.
Adapted from Yuval Noah Harari's bestselling phenomenon Sapiens, this graphic history is a radical, witty and colourful retelling of the story of humankind.
Praise for Sapiens:
‘I would recommend Sapiens to anyone who's interested in the history and future of our species’ Bill Gates
‘Interesting and provocative . . . It gives you a sense of how briefly we’ve been on this Earth’ Barack Obama
