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.
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.
Fantastic read. Not boring at all and presents a coherent story about "human" history.
評分很少看到有新的觀點,但很好地把龐雜的已有觀點串聯起來,大緻梳理瞭人類曆史的脈絡
評分講智人與黑猩猩、尼安德特人等區彆的部分還挺有趣,後半人類曆史就是老生常談瞭
評分最重要的是,膽子夠大。對自己,對彆人,都夠狠。已經開始重讀。

老實講,我不知道該怎麼評述《人類簡史》。本書那飽含當代人優越的惡意寫法,讓學術研究淪為地攤貨,令我讀起來十分不悅,但仔細想想,這本書之所以這麼熱門,接受度還特別地高,不就表示普通人愛的就是這種酸來罵去但毫無建樹的「批判」精神嗎? 平心而論,它的確有專業的一面...
評分智人发明出了许许多多的想象现实,也因而发展出许许多多的行为模式,而这正是我们所谓“文化”的主要成分。等到文化出现,就再也无法停止改变和发展,而这些无法阻挡的变化,就成了我们说的“历史”。于是,认识革命正是历史从生物学中脱离而独立存在的起点。在这之前,所有人...
評分 評分 評分文/曼佳 最近一直被人推荐《人类简史》这本书,一个70后的以色列历史学家写的风靡全球的著作。全书讲的是人类的故事,从历史又是从哲学的角度,讲述人从生物学的起源是什么样的,从宇宙的哪里来,要到未来的哪里去的故事,这样的书,是要很安静的环境和很安静的心才能好好读完...
