The Birth of Humanity "is the first part of the original graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari's world bestseller Sapiens. A Brief History of Humanity" - books about how a reasonable person, who was once one of several species of people who did not play any prominent role in the Earth's ecosystem, managed to become the only human species on it, learned to split an atom, fly to the moon, change the genetic code and turned into the sovereign ruler of the whole planet. It's the mind-boggling story of how an unremarkable mammal became a man who learned to split an atom, fly to the moon, manipulate the genetic code and gain absolute power over the planet.
