Stunning depiction of the roots of humankind. Nothing much to say apart from how amazing and fascinating it is to read on what makes us what we are, and how depressing it is to come to the conclusion that we will be our own downfall.
I would recommend this illustrated version of the bestselling book published by Yuval Noah Harari to anyone interested in what made us humans what we are today. I am still reading [b:Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind|23692271|Sapiens A Brief History of Humankind|Yuval Noah Harari|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1595674533l/23692271._SY75_.jpg|18962767], which is more dense and takes a little more dedication to go through, but I know that the rating would be the same regardless.
It was quite a feat to illustrate the complex concepts described at length by Yuval Noah Harari, and to do it with humour to boot.

This was a very different book for me. There just aren’t many graphic novels about history. I liked some parts more than others. The last section took me awhile to get through but I still liked it.

(Ik heb deze in het Nederlands gelezen, dus vandaar een Nederlands tekstje.)

Een mooie verstripping van Harari's non-fictie bestseller "Sapiens", over Homo Sapiens en de huidige mens. Het boek bestaat uit vier delen, waarvan ik - als taalnerd - het gedeelte over fictie het meest interessant vond. Ik ga dit boek aan mijn vader geven (chemicus van beroep, met een brede interesse in alle bètavakgebieden), maar ik dacht: laat ik het eerst zelf eens lezen. ;)
