A hundred thousand years ago Homo sapiens was an insignificant animal in a corner of Africa, sharing the planet with other human species; today it is the only one left. Harari traces the history of humankind from the Stone Age to the twenty-first century, starting from the change in cognitive abilities around 70,000 years ago, bringing together the natural and social sciences.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
