Sapiens: A Graphic History: The Pillars of Civilization, Volume 2

Sapiens: Pillars Vol 2 is a very informative graphic novel. I learned so much about human history and it's evolution. I like how it confirmed humanity started in Africa, and that human belief systems build off our ancestors and much of it is fiction we create to justify how we want to believe, and that it is not rooted in natural order or biology. Book has lots of comedy, pop culture and history references making it enjoyable to consume. Very thought provoking. Touches on some unpopular, but truthful topics of how horrible humanity can be (ie slavery). I will say it is a long read and took me all month to finish. I felt I was reading a graphic textbook. But I enjoyed nonetheless. Definitely recommend.
