Description
From the author of the multi-million bestselling Sapiens comes an incredible new story of the human race, for younger readers.
From the author of the multi-million bestselling Sapiens comes an incredible new story of the human race, for younger readers.
We humans aren't strong like lions, we don't swim as well as dolphins, and we definitely don't have wings! So how did we end up ruling the world?
The answer to that is one of the strangest tales you'll ever hear. And it's a true story . . .
Have you ever wondered how we got here? From hunting mammoths, to flying to the moon?
It is because we are unstoppable. But what made us so? Well, we have the most amazing superpower—the ability to tell stories. Fairy tales have led us from imagining ghosts and spirits to being able to create money (yes, really!).
And this has made us very powerful . . . but very deadly. Nothing stands in our way, and we always want more.
So get ready for the most amazing story there ever was - the incredible true tale of the Unstoppables. Find out how fire shrank our stomachs, how our ancestors spoke to animals, what football can tell us about being human, how we used our superpower for good and bad . . . and how YOU have the superpower to change the world.
With full-colour illustrations showing the relentless rise and rise of the human race, this is history like you've never experienced it before.

About the Author
Yuval Noah Harari (Author) Prof Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History. Sapiens- A Brief History of Humankind has become an international phenomenon attracting a legion of fans from Bill Gates and Barack Obama to Chris Evans and Jarvis Cocker, and is published in 65 languages worldwide. It was a Sunday Times Number One bestseller and was in the Top Ten for over nine months in paperback. His follow-up to Sapiens, Homo Deus- A Brief History of Tomorrow was also a Top Ten Bestseller and was described by the Guardian as 'even more readable, even more important, than his excellent Sapiens'. 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, was a Number One Bestseller and was described by Bill Gates as 'fascinating' and 'crucial'. Harari worked closely with renowned comics illustrator Daniel Casanave and co-writer David Vandermeulen to create his latest book, an adaptation of his first bestseller, Sapiens Graphic Novel- Volume 1.
