"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."--Publisher's description.… (més)
In Sapiens: A Graphic History, Volume One, Yuval Noah Harari, David Vandermeulen, and Daniel Casanave adapt Harari’s Sapiens: a Brief History of Humankind. Harari appears as the narrator, leading the reader through interactions with various experts in biology, physiology, chemistry, and more as they examine how Homo sapiens became the dominant human species, what this meant for other human species, and how we changed the biosphere as we spread around the world. The graphic medium works particularly well for tackling these complex topics in an accessible format for readers of all ages. The creative team never talks down to their audience, but they work to clearly explain each topic and its deeper connection to the overall theme of the book. More to the point, there’s a sense of fun about Sapiens: A Graphic History that increases the accessibility of these topics. ( )
This graphic novel adaptation of Harari's book Sapiens, the first of (I believe) four volumes, is okay. While I wasn't in love with the illustration style, I'll likely continue with subsequent volumes because the content is interesting to me, and a periodic information refresher is always welcome. Overall, I'd recommend the full-length book over the graphic novel. ( )
An interesting look at the rise of homo sapiens. I enjoyed learning about the different species of "homo" that existed before homo sapiens became the only species. ( )
I have been curious about Harari's book for a while and when I saw it had been turned into a graphic novel, I had to check it out. The adaptation is utterly brilliant. There are so many various ways that have been found to visually show us the various concepts really make the information digestible and entertaining without being overwhelming. The art work is lovely and the lettering makes it easy to read. I do have some questions about some of the conclusions that Harari draws but the work of Vandermeulen and Casanave earn this 5 stars.
