Unstoppable Us Volume 2

*From the author of the multi-million bestselling Sapiens comes the next volume in the incredible story of the human race, for younger readers.*Something really strange happened 10,000 years ago, and it changed everything. Why did millions of people agree to obey a few leaders? Where did kings and kingdoms come from? The answer to that is one of the strangest tales you'll ever hear. And it's a true story. Have you ever wondered how we got here? From gathering berries and hunting mammoths, to shopping at supermarkets and letting people tell us what to do?You might hear a lot of people say 'the world isn't fair'. But why isn't it? And how did it become so?In Unstoppable Us: Volume 1, we learned how humans told stories to become rulers of the world - for good and bad. Now, in this next chapter of the incredible true tale of the Unstoppables, find out how we learned to control animals like dogs, chicken and cows . . . And how a handful of humans learned to control everyone else. With full-colour illustrations showing the relentless rise and rise of the human race, this is history like you've never experienced it before.
