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.

大部分人对社会的认知是发展的,向前的,也就是说现在比过去好,我们努力做到进步。确实,在个人短暂的一生中看到的,意识到的大部分事物是一个方向的发展,一个维度的走。树木一年年长高,人的年龄一年比一年大,今年的欲望清单多了些物品,今天学到些东西又进步了。 我们学习...

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,...
