DR. YUVAL NOAH HARARI has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Department of History, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History. His research focuses on broad historical questions, such as: What is the relation between history and biology? Is there justice in history? Did people become happier as history unfolded?
65,000 people have taken his online course, "A Brief History of Humankind," and Sapiens is a huge bestseller in Israel and is being published in more than 20 languages worldwide. In 2012 Harari was awarded the annual Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality in the Humanistic Disciplines. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
100,000 years ago, at least six human species inhabited the earth. Today there is just one.
Us.
Homo sapiens.
How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations and human rights; to trust money, books and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come?
In Sapiens, Dr Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical - and sometimes devastating - breakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural and Scientific Revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, palaeontology and economics, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Have we become happier as history has unfolded? Can we ever free our behaviour from the heritage of our ancestors? And what, if anything, can we do to influence the course of the centuries to come?
Bold, wide-ranging and provocative, Sapiens challenges everything we thought we knew about being human: our thoughts, our actions, our power ... and our future.
《人类简史》已经不算是一本新书了,我也早早就买下,但却读不下去,当时我根本就懒得谈这本书,因为写得非常一般。让我纳闷的是,这本书在坊间的评价极高,和我的观感大相径庭,当时也没太当回事,也许我水平高呢。直到前些日子,万维刚在他的专栏力捧这本书。万维刚是我的偶...
评分我常想,人类学的重要意义,大概就是提醒我们,更广大的世界,在我们的视线之外。我们习惯于偏向与我们的社会结构和文化结构相近的群体,而容易忽视了异世界的“确有价值”。因此当我听闻最近有一本“奇书”——《人类简史》,我便有了强烈的阅读兴趣。 以色列作家尤瓦尔•赫...
评分《人类简史》是本很火的书,火到国内市场还出现仿冒作了。但是在本右派看来,这不过说明,学院左派分子依然死不悔改。换了一套术语,其实换汤不换药。 在评论或者说批评此书之前,我先大概介绍一些老左派分子和新左派分子们的区别。 老左派分子,就是马大胡子开始的。他们...
评分以“人类”全体作为考察对象的历史著述,以前也不是没有,不过往往还是受其学科分野限制,要么是讲述人从猿类一路走来的“生物进化史”,要么是关于人类自身组织发展的“社会史”或“文明史”。然而像本书作者赫拉利这样,从智人诞生一路侃到科学革命的,以前倒真没怎么见过。...

圆滑,然而并没有聪明深刻到可以圆滑的程度。既想表达自己老于世故的幻灭,又要强行卖情怀给读者,逻辑大雾。越往后写越显笔力不逮,储备不足还不用心。
评分没啥太大意思,进化人类学,经济学,传播学的杂俎,纯练听力了

评分千万,千万不要把你的钱浪费在这本书上。以后再看这种「大历史」、"a brief history of ..."的书就剁手。
评分Is there anything more dangerous than dissatisfied and irresponsible gods who don't know what they want?
