Step into the fascinating world of human history with "Sapiens A Graphic History, Volume 1: The Birth of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari. This first volume of the graphic adaptation of Harari's acclaimed bestseller offers a visually stunning journey through the origins and evolution of our species.
Featuring 256 pages of vibrant, full-color illustrations, this beautifully packaged book invites readers to explore profound questions about our past. Travel back one hundred thousand years to a time when at least six different species of humans roamed the Earth. What led to the disappearance of the others, and what does the future hold for Homo sapiens?
Harari, a renowned historian, delves into these mysteries, weaving together biology and history to enhance our understanding of what it truly means to be human. This graphic adaptation covers the first part of Harari's original work, making complex ideas accessible and engaging for a broader audience.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
