The 10,000 Year Explosion pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
A manifesto for and an example of a new kind of history, a biological history, and not just of the prehistoric era Scientists have long believed that the 'great leap forward' that occurred some 40,000 to 50,000 years ago in Europe marked the end of significant biological evolution in humans. In this stunning account of our evolutionary history, top scholars Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending reject this conventional wisdom and reveal that the human species has undergone a storm of genetic change much more recently. Human evolution in fact accelerated after civilisation arose, they contend, and these ongoing changes have played a pivotal role in human history. They argue that biology explains the expansion of the Indo-Europeans, the European conquest of the Americas, and European Jews' rise to intellectual prominence. In each of these cases, the key was recent genetic change: adult milk tolerance in the early Indo-Europeans that allowed for a new way of life, increased disease resistance among the Europeans settling America, and new versions of neurological genes among European Jews. Ranging across subjects as diverse as human domestication, Neanderthal hybridization, and IQ tests, Cochran and Harpending's analysis demonstrates convincingly that human genetics have changed and can continue to change much more rapidly than scientists have previously believed. A provocative and fascinating look at human evolution, "The 10,000 Year Explosion" reveals the ongoing interplay between culture and biology in the making of the human race.

硬着头皮读完
评分感觉这个书其实挺一般的, 没有带给我什么新东西... 感觉什么都没讲啊...很多地方完全可以更深入的
评分影响英语阅读速度的首要因素是兴趣
评分过年在Kindle上看了一个Sample章节,讲得很有道理啊,维护这样的观点——人群之间不存在生物学上差异——有那么重要吗,事实就是事实啊。
评分跟ent同学一样被说服了…如果它不讲道理怎么可能掀起此种波浪…
人类还在进化吗? 辉格 2013年2月19日 对于人类为何会是现在这个样子的问题,在达尔文之前,可以说的大概只有“上帝照他自己样子造了我们”之类,而从达尔文以来,我们已经能够从许多方面更有意思的谈论它了,为何我们的眼睛会有盲点?因为我们的眼睛和其他脊椎动物的一样,最...
评分本文首发于《文汇报》 很多习以为常的事儿,细想总是觉得神奇,比如一颗小小的受精卵,怎么能长成这么大个头的,还有自我思想的活物?比如,不管从非洲,还是什么地方,那些茹毛饮血的猿类,又如何创造出今天这样的人类社会?比如,为什么不同地区的人类语言和习惯都有着一种不...
评分002|123,《一万年的爆发》 副标题是“文明如何加速人类进化”,感觉像复利增长。人类创造了文明,文明加速了人类进化。 大众观点:自六万年前,现在智人走出非洲,便停止了进化(即当下智人基因跟过去四万年的智人没有很大区别)但,本书认为智人没有停止进化,甚至觉得“犹太...
