Unstoppable us - how humans took over the world
In this virtual event aimed at children and families, Yuval presents Unstoppable Us, the first in a new four-volume series of books for young readers. He reveals how fire shrank our stomachs, how our ancestors spoke to animals, what football can tell us about being human, how we used our superpower for good and bad… and how you have the superpower to change the world (in collaboration with How to Academy).
Prof. Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind has become an international phenomenon and is published in over 60 languages worldwide, selling 16 million copies. It was a Sunday Times Number One bestseller and was in the Top Ten for over nine months in paperback. His follow-up to Sapiens, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow was also a Top Ten Bestseller and was described by the Guardian as ‘even more readable, even more important, than his excellent Sapiens.
