“I have seen yesterday. I know tomorrow.” This inscription in Tutankhamun’s tomb summarizes The Fifth Beginning. Here, archaeologist Robert L. Kelly explains how the study of our cultural past can predict the future of humanity.
In an eminently readable style, Kelly identifies four key pivot points in the six-million-year history of human development: the emergence of technology, culture, agriculture, and the state. In each example, the author examines the long-term processes that resulted in a definitive, no-turning-back change for the organization of society. Kelly then looks ahead, giving us evidence for what he calls a fifth beginning, one that started about AD 1500. Some might call it “globalization,” but the author places it in its larger context: a five-thousand-year arms race, capitalism’s global reach, and the cultural effects of a worldwide communication network.
Kelly predicts that the emergent phenomena of this fifth beginning will include the end of war as a viable way to resolve disputes, the end of capitalism as we know it, the widespread shift toward world citizenship, and the rise of forms of cooperation that will end the near-sacred status of nation-states. It’s the end of life as we have known it. However, the author is cautiously optimistic: he dwells not on the coming chaos, but on humanity’s great potential.

評分 評分读完《第五次开始》，发现本书最吸引人的部分还是书名，虽然作者是考古领域的国际权威，但在本书中，作者似乎过于追求通俗易懂，刻意隐藏学术性，而使书归于《人类简史》《未来简史》之流的固定套路之中，更由于本书篇幅较小，让问题的最终结论落脚到乐观主义的陈腔滥调。当然...

有趣的是 所有Homo Sapien一開始都是血腥荒蠻 弱肉強食的Hunter-gatherer 然而作者強調human nature卻並不是這樣暴力混亂的 anyway 總結這本書就是“climate change”leads to everything (agriculture>technology, population growth>culture and state)
