Sapiens: A Graphic History: The Birth of Humankind, Volume 1 by Yuval Noah Harari
4.0
Beautiful art style and very accessible writing. I especially liked the fact that theories of extinction and prehistoric cultures were discussed while explicitly stating that very little can be substantiated by actual evidence.
I found it fascinating, but this is not for everyone. Some topics are discussed for quite a long time and if you are not interested in these types of historical projects, this is perhaps not the graphic novel for you. If you are, however, I would highly recommend picking up a copy.
Honestly, since this graphic novel focused on prehistoric peoples instead of our entire history like in the book this was based on, I would say that I actually enjoyed this a bit more. There was more room for discussion and theoretical pondering.
