About this series
Yuval Noah Harari's "Homo" series traces humanity's rise and possible futures across two books. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind follows Homo sapiens from an unremarkable African ape to the dominant species on Earth, tracing the cognitive, agricultural and scientific revolutions that shaped human societies. Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow turns from that past to what may come next, as humanity gains unprecedented power over biology, data and intelligence itself.
