It is not an easy job to take a nonfiction tome such as Sapiens and adapt it to a graphic version. So I must appreciate the efforts of the author, the storyboard artists, illustrators and editors who would have worked on this graphic version. They have done a fabulous job.The graphic novel series, which is expected to be published in five volumes, was launched in autumn 2020 with Volume 1 - The Birth of Humankind, focusing on the “Cognitive Revolution”. Volume 2 will be published on 14th October and can be read as a standalone or as a follow-up. However, I did learn a lot, and I learned that while researchers know an awful lot, there is an awful lot they don't know as well. My dad gave my kids this book for Christmas and I ended up reading it myself. I had to get used to it being a comic at first and it is very interesting. I can't wait for the next 2 books. As then it will all probably make a lot of sense.

I think many of us are familiar with the best selling nonfiction title, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, by the same author, and this is its graphic novel counterpart. I have not read the former and really enjoyed my time with the latter. The illustrations are detailed, beautifully colored, informative, and add to the experience. Anthropology was one of my majors in undergrad, and I loved revisiting those topics and also the newer research that’s been discovered/uncovered since I last studied. I think the graphic novel is a great crossover for both adults and younger readers in learning about a most fascinating topic. Saya juga senang sekali dengan pemilihan kata "cocoklogi" dalam bab terakhir, rasanya seperti tim KPG menggunakan kata yang lokal banget dan pasti dipahami orang Indonesia. Salut!Saya sangat menyarankan pembaca untuk bersikap dan berpikiran terbuka, dan secara menyeluruh (dan detail) menikmati proses pembacaan ini dengan sungguh-sungguh. Sapiens: A Graphic History is an epic, radical adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari’s bestselling book into a graphic novel series; bursting with wit, humor, pop culture references and colourful illustrations. Harari (as co-writer) has teamed up with renowned comics artists, David Vandermeulen (co-writer) and Daniel Casanave (illustrator), to retell the story of humankind in a way that will captivate all adults and young adults – including those who don’t usually read science and history books. Harari, who is also professor of history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said: "I’m very glad to be collaborating with David and Daniel on this project. Their talent and expertise will help bring the ideas of Sapiens to new audiences, with plenty of fresh twists, jokes and surprises." Hallpike, C. R. A Response to Yuval Harari's 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind', New English Review, December 2017. In this first volume of the full-color 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.

Shortly before the pandemic, I read Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. It's not an exaggeration to say I've thought of it every day since. Curtis Sittenfeld, Guardian Strawson, Galen (11 September 2014). "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari – review". The Guardian . Retrieved 15 June 2016. Mis más sinceras felicitaciones al equipo que está detrás de esta versión gráfica del libro de Harari, pues como lo dije en la reseña del primer volumen, me parece un reto muy grande e interesante el poder plasmar en el lenguaje gráfico un ensayo que cubre con mucho lujo de detalle la historia de nuestra especie. Ya espero con ansia el tercer volumen de la serie, pues según el adelanto del final del presente volumen, promete mucho. Prof. 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, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, and Sapiens: A Graphic History. His books have sold 27.5 Million copies in 60 languages, and he is considered one of the world’s most influential public intellectuals today. The Guardian hascredited Sapienswith revolutionizing the non-fiction market and popularizing “brainy books”. One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one-homo sapiens.Mann, Charles C. (6 February 2015). "How Humankind Conquered the World". Wall Street Journal . Retrieved 15 June 2016. Featuring easy-to-understand text covering the first part of the original edition, this adaptation of the mind-expanding book furthers the ongoing conversation as it introduces Harari's ideas to a wider new readership. O serie de decizii triviale menite să umple câteva stomacuri și să aducă puțină securitate au avut efectul cumulat de a-i sili pe oamenii arhaici să-și petreacă zilele trudind neîncetat.„ The graphic novel ends on a gloomy note. A tough cop named Lopez enlists Harari and Professor Saraswati to assist in the investigation of what she calls “the world’s worst ecological serial killers.” Says the cop: “Wherever these guys go, a whole bunch of bodies always show up.” By now, of course, we know the prime suspect is, as one character says, “all of us.”

The 10,000 Year Explosion: How Civilization Accelerated Human Evolution ( Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending) The "paradox of plenty": the way that the transition from nomadic to primary agricultural societies created a vicious cycle whereby humans had more children, so had to produce ever more food, requiring more workers and so on. Effectively expands on concepts introduced in the first volume, even if it isn’t quite as engaging. no esperes unos dibujos grandiosos pero cumplen con su objetivo de mostrar bien claro de lo que hablan. Lo mejor del libro esta en sus enseñanzas que ya pudimos ver en la novela "De animales a dioses" de Yuval Noah Harari. Aqui incluso los ejemplos son como los que menciona en el libro pero esta bastante gracioso el modo en que lo han hecho. Como comic divulgativo se merece las 5 estrellas y ese creo que era su objetivo. A brief history of the history of human kind, specifically the rise of homo sapiens and the fall of the five other species of humans in the era of the cave man.Con respeto al primer volumen, este que lleva por subtítulo Los pilares de la civilización no presenta grandes cambios en cuestión de estilo, narración o recursos usados por los autores: acá de nuevo nos encontramos con su sobrina Zoe, la doctora Saraswati, la Doctora Ficción y la detective López que acompañan a Yuval en la narración, también está presente la inserción del cómic de Bill & Cindy para ejemplificar la cotidianidad de cada una de las épocas que ha vivido sapiens, la inserción de algunos recortes de periódicos y anuncios publicitarios ficticios con el fin de hacer hincapié en los elementos más contundentes de la narración. The illustrations are A-grade, no doubts about that. I never thought an intense book such as Sapiens could be represented so interactively. But mainly because of the rich variety of characters, the illustrations add a pizzazz to the book.
