"In Sapiens, Harari delves deep into our history as a species to help us understand who we are and what made us this way. An engrossing read."

-DAN ARIELY, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF

PREDICTABLY IRRATIONAL

"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

"Sapiens is learned, thought provoking, and crisply written... Fascinating."

—WALL STREET JOURNAL

"An encyclopedic approach from a well-versed scholar who is concise but eloquent, both skeptical and opinionated, and open enough to entertain competing points of view... The great debates of history aired out with satisfying vigor."

-KIRKUS REVIEWS (STARRED REVIEW)

"Writing with wit and verve, Harari...

attempts to explain how Homo sapiens

came to be the dominant species on earth as well as the sole representative of the human genus... Provocative and entertaining." -PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

"It's not often that a book offers readers the possibility to reconsider, well, everything.

But that's what Harari does in this sweeping look at the history of humans.... Part of the book's genius is not only that it organizes human history into understandable patterns, but also that those patterns are so fresh and fascinating....

Readers of every

stripe should put this at the top of their reading lists. Thinking has never been so enjoyable." -BOOKLIST (STARRED REVIEW)
