'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.
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).

評分我常想,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...
評分如果说有一本书,不到五百页,没有一堆令人晕头转向的年份、人名、地名、称号,就能涵盖了人类如何崛起、影响现代生活甚巨的资本主义、一神教、自由人文主义、基因工程如何兴盛的人类历史重大脉络……那就是这本神奇的、同时摆放在“历史”和“畅销”分类里的「人类简史」。 ...

Enlightening book that guides you through the human history. Profound yet concise analysis of the human culture, society, science and development. Wonderful reading.
评分此書采用“大曆史”的寫法,避開具體的曆史事件和曆史人物,直接剖析人類各發展階段的本質,“驚人”結論應接不暇,不少讀者高呼過癮。但近年來不斷走俏的大曆史類圖書往往容易犯以偏概全的錯誤,隻顧著拋結論、上概念,舉例論證僅僅走個形式。比如本書論證農業時代的人類不如采集者生活幸福,比如把個人主義描述為國傢和市場摧毀傢庭和社群的“第五縱隊”等。此書另一大特色是緊緊抓住“虛構”這個概念不放,全書所有觀點都從中生發,顯得高度統一、立場鮮明。雖然人類認知革命始於虛構能力的觀點並非作者原創,但此書貴在一以貫之。從認知革命到想象的秩序,再到各種宗教,最後是想象的共同體,作者始終用“虛構”這個元素解釋人類各個階段的發展變化,形成完整的邏輯鏈條,成為本書利用大量驚人結論發動攻勢之外徵服讀者的另一個原因。
评分Culture is a parasite; agriculture is a trap; ideologies are just modern religions; consumerism’s the heaven promised by capitalism as a religion. And at the end of the day human society is operating based on myths instead of facts.
评分第一本在讀的英文原版,希望是第一本完整讀完的。約90天 結果很遺憾不是讀完的第一本。 7萬年的曆史,從東非的起源,到意識革命,到熬死瞭所有其他兄弟種族,到散布全世界,到農業革命到階級分化到創造錢、宗教、帝國這三個實現人類大一統的工具到科學革命到大航海時代到資本爆發到人類的自我改造
评分intriguing&inspiring
