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.
Professor Yuval Noah Harari is a historian, philosopher, and the bestselling author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, which have sold over 20 million copies worldwide, and been translated in 50 languages.
