Sapiens: A Graphic History Volume Two
Yuval Noah Harari, David Vandermeulen & Daniel Casanave (illustrator)

Sapiens: A Graphic History
by Daniel Casanave, David Vandermeulen & Yuval Noah Harari
In Sapiens: A Graphic History, Israeli historian and public intellectual worked with comics artists Daniel Casanave and David Vandermeulen to adapt his bestselling history of humankind into comic book form: "With Yuval Noah Harari as your guide, and accompanied by characters such as prehistoric Bill, Dr Fiction and Detective Lopez, you are invited to take a ride on the wild side of history." Unfortunately for anyone reading this, human beings are the baddies in this tale, but probably that's a plus for teenagers, the age group the book is aimed at.
Note: this is only volume 1, and another volume is set to follow.
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
by Yuval Noah Harari
Some academic historians have been quite critical of Sapiens by the Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari, pointing out that some of the nuances of debates are lost in a popular history book. But that's also why it makes a good read and an effective audiobook. It not only gives Harari more scope to address the big questions, but also gives many people their first detailed introduction to the origins of human beings. There's a lot to think about after reading this book, even if you ultimately disagree with his interpretation.
