In the second "Sapiens" volume, Yuval Noah Harari tells the story of how we took over the world; how an unlikely marriage between a god and a bureaucrat created the first empires; and how war, famine, disease, and inequality became a part of the human condition. The origins of modern farming are introduced through Elizabethan tragedy, the changing fortunes of domesticated plants and animals are tracked in the columns of the Daily Business News, and the story of urbanization is told as a travel brochure offering discount journeys to ancient Babylon and China.

Sapiens: A Graphic History
21 books in catalog
Examining the sweeping trajectory of human evolution, social structures, and technological advancement, macro-historical non-fiction offers critical frameworks for understanding contemporary global challenges. Yuval Noah Harari brought large-scale historical analysis to a broad audience with Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, which explores how cognitive development, agricultural shifts, and shared cultural fictions shaped human society.
Born in Kiryat Atta, Israel, on February 24, 1976, Harari pursued advanced historical research at the University of Oxford, earning his doctorate in 2002. He subsequently joined the faculty at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem as a professor of history, specializing in world, medieval, and military history. His undergraduate lectures on world history served as the basis for his 2011 book Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. In 2019, Harari and Itzik Yahav co-founded Sapienship, a social impact company that develops projects in education and entertainment to address pressing global issues.
Harari combines history, evolutionary biology, and anthropology to address macro-historical questions regarding human existence. His writing analyzes how shared narratives, free will, consciousness, happiness, and suffering influence human behavior and social structures. In works such as Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow and Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI, he examines the historical evolution of information networks and evaluates the existential risks associated with artificial intelligence and non-human decision-making systems.
