What makes us human

What they say

"Sapiens tackles the biggest questions of history and of the modern world, and it is written in unforgettably vivid language."

Jared Diamond, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel,Collapse

"This is mega-history of the best sort: sweeping but not simplistic, contemporary but not gimmicky, provocative but not contrarian. Almost everyone will want to argue with one part of this book or another, but working out which part and why will do us all good."

Steven Gunn, professor of history at Oxford

"This book is a big history narrative of human civilization – from how we developed from hunter-gatherers early on to how we organize our society and economy today."

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO

"The book is about the angles into history instead of offering archeological progress…Reading through, you feel the jigsaw pieces in your mind has finally came into broad picture right in place."

Ji Shisan, Guokr.com

"My most valuable read in 2015…Readers will cast different light into the world once they finish the book."

Bao Shu, science fiction writer

"We're too used to explore and learn the world from details, the book reminds us that once we look differently from the above, we'll get a different picture."

Li Miao, astrophysics professor with Sun Yat-sen University
