We will continue to share updates on our efforts to trace the history of humankind through illustrations and words, along with related news and announcements.

Where did humanity come from?
What have we experienced?
And how should we live from here?
The Story of Humankind is a book that traces these broad questions through pictures and words.

The book is designed for readers from age 3 to adulthood.
Younger children can enjoy the illustrations, school-age readers can read and learn on their own, and adults can revisit the larger flow of human history with fresh eyes.

In the Japanese edition, every part of the main text includes ruby characters, making it easier for children to read independently while also helping them learn kanji and pronunciation naturally.
The English edition is written in clear and approachable language so that it can be accessible not only to children, but also to readers in non-native English-speaking environments.

The book also values a broad, human-centered perspective rather than focusing only on one country or region.
Alongside major historical developments, it touches on invention, discovery, information, treaties, and international connections, encouraging readers to think, compare, and engage in dialogue across differences.

We also hope the book can serve as a gateway to learning for children who may not always have enough access to educational opportunities.
Rather than explaining everything in full detail, it aims to help readers discover important ideas and become curious enough to keep learning on their own.

Both the Japanese and English editions are available in paperback and ebook formats.

• One-click sources: open the original news articles immediately
• Tone & intensity: map dots reflect sentiment and its strength for rapid situational awareness

If you want a fast, map-first way to follow global developments and jump to primary sources, World News Pulse is built for that.

Human Histories is a nonprofit organization focused on building shared understanding by making human history visible and comparable across perspectives. Through our data-driven application Histoverse, we organize historical events—such as wars, political transitions, and social change—within a unified framework of time, location, and cause-and-effect.

We believe that many conflicts arise not only from differences in values, but from the absence of a shared view of facts and context. By enabling people to examine the same historical information together, we aim to support constructive dialogue and cooperation.

Support through Benevity helps sustain the long-term operation of Histoverse, including data maintenance, multilingual expansion, and continued development as a public-interest historical analysis environment.
