图书描述

Most of us take for granted the features of our modern society, from air travel and telecommunications to literacy and obesity. Yet for nearly all of its six million years of existence, human society had none of these things. While the gulf that divides us from our primitive ancestors may seem unbridgeably wide, we can glimpse much of our former lifestyle in those largely traditional societies still or recently in existence. Societies like those of the New Guinea Highlanders remind us that it was only yesterday—in evolutionary time—when everything changed and that we moderns still possess bodies and social practices often better adapted to traditional than to modern conditions.

The World Until Yesterday provides a mesmerizing firsthand picture of the human past as it had been for millions of years—a past that has mostly vanished—and considers what the differences between that past and our present mean for our lives today.

This is Jared Diamond’s most personal book to date, as he draws extensively from his decades of field work in the Pacific islands, as well as evidence from Inuit, Amazonian Indians, Kalahari San people, and others. Diamond doesn’t romanticize traditional societies—after all, we are shocked by some of their practices—but he finds that their solutions to universal human problems such as child rearing, elder care, dispute resolution, risk, and physical fitness have much to teach us. A characteristically provocative, enlightening, and entertaining book, The World Until Yesterday will be essential and delightful reading.

养分很多,但多点客观事实、少点个人感情和shadow boxing,读起来会更流畅

適合非學術性讀者去看, 因為沒有很多深奧的專有名詞, 而且加了很多作者自己的故事。雖然有五百多頁, 但看起來沒有很吃力。

好长的一本书,行文逻辑非常严谨,像极了GRE写作的风格……在这个人类社会与科技发展的速度已经超过我们自身适应能力的时代,现代文明在诸多方面都有可以继续从远古社会部族学习、借鉴和吸收的地方。

《枪炮,病菌与钢铁》作者的新书。英文版2012年出版。仔细论述人类在社群组织方面的各种尝试和得失。 总体来说,这本书跟《枪炮病菌与钢铁》一样有趣,但是不如《枪炮》深刻。基本的作用是比较全面地描述了原始社群的生活。没有工业污染,生活方式非常健康,民主,貌似是许多...

读过《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》的人,对贾雷德•戴蒙德不会感到陌生,他是一位演化生物学家,写作横跨历史学、人类学、地理学等学科,试图为历史变迁建立一套演化论的解释范式。 本书延续了戴蒙德的野心,通过对原始“捕猎—采集文明”的观察与研究,作者理清了现代文明的来路,...

一本《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》足矣让戴蒙德不朽,作为地理决定论界的扛把子,戴蒙德把在新几内亚原始部落几十年的观察、交流和思考融入了一本又一本主题各异的著作,充分体现了一个智人所能达到的思维深度和广度,不愧为我们灵长类的骄傲。在这本书中戴蒙德谈的是传统社会的特点,...
