A clever creative teaching graphic adaptation of Yuval Noah Harari's bestseller. Easy to understand with full-colour illustrations. We learn about who we are, and how we got to be us. One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one-homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? In this first volume Yuval Harari tells the story of humankind's creation and evolution, exploring the ways in which biology and history have defined us and our understanding of what it means to be "human". https://www.ynharari.com/book/graphicnovelsapiens/

how can we balance our love of sneakers with the need for sustainability? Check
out what this means and what you can do. https://countdown.ted.com/https://www.ted.com/talks/angel_chang_the_wildly_complex_anatomy_of_a_sneaker?
Australian Artist Patricia Piccinini’s exhibition in the Flinders Street Station’s forgotten Ballroom is the first there in decade. Piccinini works in a variety of media, including painting, video, sound, installation, digital prints, and sculpture. She is an artist who explores the frontiers of science and technology through her extradinary works. She explores "unexpected consequences", conveying concerns surrounding bio-ethics to help visualize future dystopias. She challenges our relationship to nature valorising things like trees, animals and small acts of kindness we may usually overlook. An amazing exhibition to see once Melbourne is out of lockdown. https://www.patriciapiccinini.net
