What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? Yet today there is only one-homo sapiens. One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. In this unique livestream event celebrating the release of his new graphic novel, Sapiens: A Graphic History – The Birth of Humankind, Yuval joins How To Academy and Penguin Live to explore the ways in which biology and history have defined us, to challenge us to reconsider accepted beliefs, to connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and to share the journey of radically adapting his bestselling book into a visual format. And his work extends far beyond telling the story of human history: through the projects of his organisation, Sapienship, Yuval advocates for global responsibility and global collaboration. Millions of readers across the globe have marvelled at the ease with which he explains what it means to be “human”, as he effortlessly synthesises biology, economics, philosophy and other disciplines to provide a unique and singular account of our life on Earth. He counts Bill Gates, Janelle Monae and Barack Obama as fans, and Emmanuel Macron, Angela Merkel and Mark Zuckerberg seek his counsel. In the history of ideas there has never been anyone like Yuval Noah Harari. “History began when humans invented gods, and will end when humans become gods.” – Yuval Noah Harari He shares his insights in conversation with award-winning comedian and author Sara Pascoe. From the dawn of humankind to the deep future, Yuval Noah Harari’s new book Sapiens: a Graphic History tells the story of our species like never before.
