"First published in Hebrew in 2011 by Kinneret, Zmora-Bitan, Dvir."--Title page verso.
Translated from the French (original work in Hebrew).
"In this first volume of the full-color illustrated adaptation of his groundbreaking 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."--Publisher's description.

Gets most things right submitted by lvpratt on June 9, 2023, 10:48pm The author is a historian; a lot of the topics in the first volume are somewhat outside of his wheelhouse (human evolution, etc). As an archaeologist, their were a few places where I felt he was missing part of the picture, but overall he does a great job! Selecting a couple of pages of this would make a fun reading assignment for high school or college students.
