NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From world-renowned historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari, the bestselling author of Sapiens,
comes the second volume in the bestselling Unstoppable Us series that
traces human development from the Agricultural Revolution to Prehistoric
Egypt.
Humans may have taken over the world, but
what happened next? How did our hunter-gatherer ancestors become village
farmers? Why were kingdoms and laws established? How did we go from
being the rulers of Earth to the rulers of each other?
And why isn’t the world fair?
The answer to all of that is one of the strangest tales you’ll ever hear. And it’s a true story!
From cultivating
land and sharing resources to building pyramids and paying taxes,
prepare to discover how humans established civilization, endured the
consequences for it, and created history-changing inventions along the
way.
In Unstoppable Us, Volume 1: How Humans Took Over the World, acclaimed author Yuval Noah Harari explored the early history of humankind. In Volume 2,
he is back with another expertly crafted story of how human society
evolved and flourished. His dynamic writing is accompanied by maps, a
timeline, and full-color illustrations, making the incredible story of
our past fun, engaging, and impossible to put down.
