This is The Sunday Times Bestseller. Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it. Us. We are the most advanced and most destructive animals ever to have lived. What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens? In this bold and provocative book, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we're going. Sapiens is a thrilling account of humankind's extraordinary history - from the Stone Age to the Silicon Age - and our journey from insignificant apes to rulers of the world. "It tackles the biggest questions of history and of the modern world, and it is written in unforgettably vivid language. You will love it!" (Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs and Steel).
'I encourage all of us, whatever our beliefs, to question the basic narratives of our world, to connect past developments with present concerns, and not to be afraid of controversial issues.' Dr Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History. His research focuses on broad 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 signed up to his online course, A Brief History of Humankind. Sapiens is an international bestseller and is being published in more than 30 languages worldwide. In 2012 Harari was awarded the annual Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality in the Humanistic Disciplines.
《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...
评分尤瓦尔的这本人类简史是一本非常惊艳之作,作者以极其广阔的思路和相当毒辣的笔触,从人类心智发展的角度分析了人类文明的变迁。 开头不久的一个结论就让我对这本书留下了极其深刻的印象——智人优于动物之处,在于智人可以构建共同的“想象”/谎言/神话,而共同神话使得人类...
评分本书评仅针对第十九章内容。 小学时看过一个关于太阳演化的科普片,说是大约50亿年以后,太阳将演化为红巨星,体积膨胀并吞并数个行星,包括地球在内。 也就是说,地球终将灭亡。 后来学了物理,知道这事虽不是千真万确,但也八九不离十了。当然,50亿年是个过于漫长的时间,人...

评分第一本在读的英文原版,希望是第一本完整读完的。约90天 结果很遗憾不是读完的第一本。 7万年的历史,从东非的起源,到意识革命,到熬死了所有其他兄弟种族,到散布全世界,到农业革命到阶级分化到创造钱、宗教、帝国这三个实现人类大一统的工具到科学革命到大航海时代到资本爆发到人类的自我改造
评分The Animal that Became a God.
评分中英文兩本一起讀的,從春節放假開始,到後來上班很忙一星期只能讀幾頁,於是前後花了差不多兩個月才讀完。信息量巨大,在作者淺顯的敘述和簡單的例子中終於重新認識和理解了中學歷史課上怎麼都聽不懂的人類的過去,也結合了自己親身經歷的這三十年來的種種,陷入無限的哲學思考和心理學反思中。
