The History of Humanity – Volume 2 of the "Unstoppable Us" series by bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari. Why are some people rich while others are poor? How did humanity divide into kings and slaves, how did a few ancient nerds invent writing, and how did our ancestors build great temples for the gods? And what does all this have to do with the fact that humans transitioned from hunters and gatherers to farmers ten thousand years ago? Agricultural revolution, the first cities, and ancient Egypt: Once again, bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari narrates the adventurous history of humanity in an inspiring and captivating way. "Like a storyteller by the campfire, the author speaks directly to children and vividly describes the stages of development and the daily lives of our ancestors." Agnes Sonntag, Der Spiegel (about Volume 1). All volumes of the "Unstoppable Us" series: Volume 1: How We Humans Conquered the World, Volume 2: Why the World Is Not Fair. The series is planned to consist of four volumes in total. Each volume is self-contained and addresses a single major theme, such as the Stone Age and the settling of humans.
