Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Birth of Humankind!"
Written by Yuval Noah Harari. Art by David Vandermeulen and Daniel Casanave.
One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one - homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us?
In this full-color illustrated adaptation of his book, historian Yuval Harari tells the story of humankind's evolution, exploring the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be "human."
Sapiens challenges us to reconsider accepted beliefs, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and view specific events within the context of larger ideas.
Softcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 256 pages, full color.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "Pillars of Civilization!"
Written by Yuval Noah Harari. Art by David Vandermeulen and Daniel Casanave.
What if humanity's major woes-war, plague, famine and inequality-originated 12,000 years ago, when Homo sapiens converted from nomads to settlers, in pursuit of the fantasy of productivity and efficiency? What if by seeking to control plants and animals, humans ended up being controlled by kings, priests, and Kafkaesque bureaucracy?
Volume 2 of Sapiens: A Graphic History-The Pillars of Civilization explores a crucial chapter in human development: the Agricultural Revolution. This is the story of how wheat took over the world; how an unlikely marriage between a god and a bureaucrat created the first empires; and how war, plague, famine, and inequality became an intractable feature of the human condition.
Softcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 248 pages, full color.

Volume 3 - 1st printing. "The Masters of History!" Written by Yuval Noah Harari. Art by David Vandermeulen and Daniel Casanave. Cover by Daniel Casanave. Translated by Adriana Hunter. Sometimes history seems like a laundry list of malevolent monarchs, pompous presidents and dastardly dictators. But are they really the ones in the driving seat? Sapiens: A Graphic History-The Masters of History takes us on an immersive and hilarious ride through the human past to discover the forces that change our world, bring us together, and just as often... tear us apart. Grab a front-row seat to the greatest show on earth, and explore the rise of money, religion and empire. Join our fabulous host Heroda Tush, as she wonders: Which historical superhero will display the power to make civilizations rise and fall? Will Mr. Random prove that luck and circumstance prevail? Will Lady Empire convince us of the irrefutable shaping force of conquerors? Or will Clashwoman beat them all to greatness by reminding us of the endless confrontations that seem to forever plague our species? Softcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 288 pages, full color. Cover price $29.99.
