About this listen

An awe-inspiring audiobook about the origin and advancement of humans, from author and #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Nikkolas Smith.

A Robert F. Sibert Informational Honor Book


Fossil records show that the first humans were born in Africa. Meaning, every person on Earth can trace their ancestry back to that continent. The History of We celebrates our shared ancestors' ingenuity and achievements and imagines what these firsts would have looked and felt like.

What was it like for the first person to paint, to make music, to dance, to discover medicine, to travel to unknown lands? It required courage, curiosity, and skill.

The History of We takes what we know about modern human civilization and creates a tale about our shared beginnings in a way that centers Black people in humankind's origin story.
