Note publique d'information : One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited
Earth. Yet today there is only one-homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And
what may happen to us? In this first volume of the full-colour illustrated adaptation
of his groundbreaking book, renowned historian Yuval Harari tells the story of humankind's
creation and evolution, exploring the ways in which biology and history have defined
us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be "human". From examining the
role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires,
Sapiens challenges us to reconsider accepted beliefs, connect past developments with
contemporary concerns, and view specific events within the context of larger ideas.
