Sapiens' Big Question, Part 1: The Origin of Humanity, Returns as a "Graphic History."
Sapiens, a fun and engaging comic book with a unique imagination that enhances both fun and comprehension!

Sapiens, which created a Harari craze after its publication in November 2015, has returned as a 'graphic history'.
『Sapiens』, which has been strongly recommended by prominent intellectuals at home and abroad, including Bill Gates, Jared Diamond, Mark Zuckerberg, Professor Dae-sik Kim, a neuroscientist at KAIST, author Si-min Yoo, and Professor Sang-wook Kim of the Department of Physics at Kyunghee University, is a true modern classic.
The insights of Sapiens, which crisscrosses human history and the future, are essential for understanding and sustaining life in an uncertain and complex world.
This is why it was ranked as a ‘1 million copies bestseller’, ‘steady seller for 5 consecutive years from 2016 to 2020’, and ‘#1 professor-recommended book’.
The Sapiens: A Graphic History series is a masterpiece of graphic novels, where the core of the original educational non-fiction is reborn as a captivating storytelling through ingenious adaptations and sophisticated illustrations.

Beginning with the meeting between historian Yuval and his niece Joy, the story concludes with a shocking scene in a courtroom where Sapiens are accused, capturing the essence of human civilization through fresh and vivid storytelling.

How did Homo sapiens, the ape from the periphery, become the ruler of the world?

The Sapiens: A Graphic History series will be published as four graphic novels, one for each part of the original work.
The first volume, 'Vol.1.

The composition faithfully reflects the original content, the storytelling has become more powerful, and the translation is highly readable, providing a different kind of enjoyment from the original.
Sapiens, which rewrote the history of human civilization, is now rewriting the history of graphic novels.

Who am I and where are we going?
The most powerful and influential insights ever seen in graphic history!

“Yuval Harari is a thinker who presents the big picture”_The New Yorker
In an age where misinformation overwhelms us and we're distracted by the immediate events before our eyes, taking a step back and broadening our perspective can help us think clearly and cultivate wisdom for life.
Especially in the era of the COVID-19 New Normal, where an unprecedented pandemic has brought about significant and profound changes to individuals' daily lives and society as a whole, we need to be able to read the "big picture" more than ever.
The fundamental reflection that allows us to survey the flow of history, question human justice, and cultivate the power to foresee the future begins with thinking about ourselves as a member of humanity.
Is there any other book that provides as much long-term insight into myself and the world as 『Sapiens』?
'Graphic Sapiens' is a book worth trying for readers who found the information-heavy 'brick book' 'Sapiens' burdensome.
The witty and vivid character descriptions that fully utilize the characteristics of the graphic novel genre, and the realistic touches that borrow from famous paintings and popular culture naturally lead readers into another world of 『Sapiens』 that is easy and fun.
Your horizons will broaden, as if you had watched an intellectually sophisticated documentary.
The long history of Sapiens begins now, guided by Professor Yuval Harari, who has risen to the ranks of the most important thinkers of the 21st century.

A masterpiece graphic novel that captures the history of human civilization at a glance.
