Using scientific inevitability to explain historical changes is dangerous.
評分自己看瞭一半,難以遏製的在心裏批駁作者的各種佐證,感覺自己不適閤看這種半科普性質的書,太纍。。。雖然最後還是用開車的時間在Audible上聽完瞭。。。
評分農作物與傢畜,人口的稠密程度,地理環境的影響,新技術的擴散容易程度,病菌所引起的各種疾病的影響等。由上,對比瞭不同地區的發展情況,以及所導緻的人類曆史進程。
評分對於guns,germs and steel,本書特點在於探討為何,而不是如何
評分對人類曆史的理解又多瞭一個維度

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, "Guns, Germs, and Steel" is a brilliant work answering the question of why the peoples of certain continents succeeded in invading other continents and conquering or displacing their peoples. This edition includes a new chapter on Japan and all-new illustrations drawn from the television series. Until around 11,000 BC, all peoples were still Stone Age hunter/gatherers. At that point, a great divide occurred in the rates that human societies evolved. In Eurasia, parts of the Americas, and Africa, farming became the prevailing mode of existence when indigenous wild plants and animals were domesticated by prehistoric planters and herders. As Jared Diamond vividly reveals, the very people who gained a head start in producing food would collide with preliterate cultures, shaping the modern world through conquest, displacement, and genocide.The paths that lead from scattered centers of food to broad bands of settlement had a great deal to do with climate and geography. But how did differences in societies arise? Why weren't native Australians, Americans, or Africans the ones to colonize Europe? Diamond dismantles pernicious racial theories tracing societal differences to biological differences. He assembles convincing evidence linking germs to domestication of animals, germs that Eurasians then spread in epidemic proportions in their voyages of discovery. In its sweep, "Guns, Germs and Steel" encompasses the rise of agriculture, technology, writing, government, and religion, providing a unifying theory of human history as intriguing as the histories of dinosaurs and glaciers.
尽管anthropology在国外很多学院已有上百年历史,人类学在国内似乎还是一个很年轻的词语,相关的中文书籍也不是很多,Jared Diamond的这本普利策获奖作品不失为了解这一领域的一扇大门。 除了文字的记录,考古的发掘,其实还可以从许多角度审视历史,不同的方法,变幻的尺度,...

評分【读品】李牧之 如何理解人类的发展史?在挖掘冷冰冰的事实的时候,人们从制度转型的角度来试图解释为什么会这样。而政治、经济与社会则是理解制度转型最重要的三个方面。工业革命之前的历史书写多以政治、军事史为主线,《罗马帝国衰亡史》的作者吉本就自称"史书的主题是公共...
