From the author of Sapiens comes a story of the human race, for younger readers. 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? The answer to that is a true story. Have you ever wondered how we got here? From hunting mammoths, to flying to the moon? It is because we are unstoppable. But what made us so? We have a superpower: the ability to tell stories. Fairy tales have led us from imagining ghosts and spirits to being able to create money. And this has made us very powerful . . . but very deadly. Nothing stands in our way, and we always want more. Find out 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. With full-colour illustrations showing the rise of the human race.
