The series of knowledge comics "A Brief History of Humankind: From Animals to God" is adapted from "A Brief History of Humanity: From Animals to God" and is carefully created by author Professor Yuval Harari, Belgian comic artist David van der Meulen, and French illustrator Danielle Casanave. The comic series' scene-based expressions, imaginative fictional stories and cute jokester-like characters are like a comic book movie on paper, taking you through the epic journey of mankind from ancient times to the present. "A Brief History of Humanity: The Pillars of Civilization" is the second part of the series of knowledge comics after "A Brief History of Humanity: The Birth of Mankind". In the book, we will continue to follow Yuval, Zoe, Professor Saraswati, Cindy and Bill, Detective Lopez and the fictional doctor to explore how the "Agricultural Revolution" changed human society. How important is wheat's role in human history? How did war, famine and inequality arise? If humans had not transformed from nomads to settlers 12,000 years ago, would we have been happier than we are now? Did humans domesticate wheat, or did wheat deceive humans? Could the "Agricultural Revolution" be a historical hoax? Only by knowing what happened in the past can we understand why we are where we are now. The interesting, informative and high-quality "Pillars of Civilization" will continue to subvert your understanding like the first "The Birth of Man" and bring more surprises! Confucius, Faust, King Hammurabi, and the heroine Scarlett Hao of "Gone with the Wind" come to the book. Let us join this wild journey of history!
