  • The third book of the illustrated series. Excellent, just like the other two. A popularized history of the human species, with such simple words and humor. It helps you understand things you never imagined, to reject hatred, racism, chauvinism, and anything that holds humanity back! Very very good, the whole series is recommended!

  • Amazing. The author presents views and theories in a unique way without taking a stand, yet poses reasonable questions and encourages the reader to form their own opinion. It is a book that should not be missing from any library. It should be taught in schools!

  • I consider it the best book I have ever read. It really took me back in time. Although long, it did not tire me at all and finishing it I think I became a little wiser. Masterpiece.

  • Exactly what the title says!
    Very good book, easy to read. I wish every student would read it in order to "open" their mind after finishing school. A real asset. It deserves your attention.

Description & Specifications

Today, all human beings belong to the same unified world. But from which historical phenomena did this unification arise? Who is the true ruler of History?

A comic to rethink everything we think we know about the history of humanity.

In this volume of the best-selling comic series, Yuval Noah Harari, David Vandermeulen, and Daniel Casanave continue to present the complex history of humanity with intelligence, empathy, and originality. Along with an incredible cast of new characters, we are joined by the familiar faces of Yuval, Zoe, Professor Saraswati, Bill and Cindy (now Romans), the Caveman, and Captain Dollar. As they travel through time, space, and human drama in search of the truth, it is impossible not to wonder: why can’t we communicate with each other?

The third volume of the Sapiens series, a graphic history, is a fascinating, insightful, and colorful narrative of the history of humanity for curious minds of all ages and can be read on its own or in sequence with the first two volumes.

This third volume of the illustrated adaptation of the international bestseller Sapiens deals with the question of the driving force of human destiny: is it empire, money, religion—or something entirely different—that unites us?
Sometimes history seems like a blacklist featuring malicious monarchs, pompous presidents, and evil dictators. But are they really the ones in control? Sapiens – Lords of History takes us on a fascinating and hilarious journey into the human past to discover the forces that change our world, bring us together, and just as often... tear us apart.

    Why We Loved It

    It transforms complex scientific and historical concepts into a fascinating comic that you can read in one go. It features clever humor and very lively illustrations that help you understand our past without tiring you. It is the ideal way to see the history of our species as a grand, well-crafted adventure.

    This book is for you if...

    Do you like graphic novels and want to learn how we arrived at today's civilization, while avoiding heavy and difficult-to-understand history books?

    Read an excerpt:

    “But why did people make such a fatal mistake? For the same reason that people make mistakes throughout history. They could not foresee the full consequences of their decisions. Every time they decided to do a little more work—for example, to sow seeds instead of gathering wild grains—they thought: ‘Yes, we will have to work harder. But the harvest will be so rich! We will no longer have to worry about years of hunger. Our children will never go to bed hungry again.’

    It made sense. If you worked harder, you would have a better life. That was the plan. The first part of the plan went well. People did work harder. But they had not foreseen that the number of children would increase, which meant that the extra food had to be shared among more mouths.

    They had not foreseen that feeding babies more porridge and less mother’s milk would weaken their immune systems, nor that permanent settlements would become breeding grounds for infectious diseases. They did not look far enough ahead. They thought only of today and tomorrow.”
