With accolades such as being hailed as "interesting and provocative" by Barack Obama, the book challenges conventional wisdom, prompting readers to reconsider their understanding of what it means to be human.

Harari, a distinguished historian and intellectual, takes us on a journey through the vast expanse of time, from Earth's 4.5 billion-year history to the mere fraction during which Homo sapiens emerged and became the dominant species.
