Unstoppable Us Series

by ,
(1 review)

From the historian and author of the multi-million bestselling Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari, comes an incredible new story of the human race for younger readers aged 13+, illustrated by the brilliant Ricard Zaplana Ruiz.

We humans aren't strong like lions, we don't swim as well as dolphins, and we definitely don't have wings! So how did we end up ruling the world? This book answers just that very question, telling the story of how us humans got here from hunting mammoths to flying to the moon. By exploring our innate ability to tell stories and use our imagination, Yuval Noah Harari gets to the bottom of how we're truly unstoppable, whether that is a good or a bad thing. The books are packed with fun facts, including how fire shrank our stomachs, how our ancestors spoke to animals and what football can tell us about being human. But the core message is that we have the ultimate power to mould and shape our world.

We highly recommend reading this as an approachable history of the world for all curious teen and young adult readers.
