Review Quotes:
"A skillfully entertaining education.....Throughout, the authors seek to present a concise rendering of the full march of humankind and point out elements that are fictionalized, misrepresented, or exaggerated--and show how those elements have shaped human behavior, norms, and mores. " - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Sapiens is learned, thought-provoking and crisply written. . . . Fascinating." - Wall Street Journal
