Dr. Yuval Noah Harari lectures at the Department of History, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
He originally specialized in medieval history and military history, completing his D.Phil. at the University of Oxford (Jesus College) in 2002, and publishing numerous books and articles, including Special Operations in the Age of Chivalry, 1100-1550; The Ultimate Experience: Battlefield Revelations and the Making of Modern War Culture, 1450-2000; “The Concept of ‘Decisive Battles’ in World History”; and “Armchairs, Coffee and Authority: Eye-witnesses and Flesh-witnesses Speak about War, 1100-2000”.
He now specializes in World History and macro-historical processes. His most recent book is titled From Animals into Gods: A Brief History of Humankind (originally published in Hebrew under the title A Brief History of Mankind, and now being translated into English and German). The book surveys the entire length of human history, from the evolution of Homo sapiens in Pleistocene East Africa up to the political and technological revolutions of the 21st-century.
The Hebrew edition has become a bestseller in Israel. It has generated much interest both in the academic community and among the general public, and has turned Harari into an instant celebrity. YouTube Video clips of Harari’s lectures on the history of the world have been viewed by tens of thousands of Israelis; and he is currently writing a two-weekly column for Ha’aretz magazine. He is also currently giving an online free course with the same title.

From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity’s creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.”
One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us?
Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.
Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become?
Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem

读后感
文/曼佳 最近一直被人推荐《人类简史》这本书，一个70后的以色列历史学家写的风靡全球的著作。全书讲的是人类的故事，从历史又是从哲学的角度，讲述人从生物学的起源是什么样的，从宇宙的哪里来，要到未来的哪里去的故事，这样的书，是要很安静的环境和很安静的心才能好好读完...
评分乘地铁，车还没到，抬头看电视屏幕，瞥见一个穿白大褂的中年男人正在讲解割双眼皮的三种方式，对面的广告牌上，一个美丽的女人骄傲地展示着整容之后的五官，大眼睛，双眼皮，尖下巴，眼神迷离，一脸茫然。 我并不想对整容做道德评价，而是想还原一个事实：我们已经生活在一个...
评分《人类简史》已经不算是一本新书了，我也早早就买下，但却读不下去，当时我根本就懒得谈这本书，因为写得非常一般。让我纳闷的是，这本书在坊间的评价极高，和我的观感大相径庭，当时也没太当回事，也许我水平高呢。直到前些日子，万维刚在他的专栏力捧这本书。万维刚是我的偶...
评分智人发明出了许许多多的想象现实，也因而发展出许许多多的行为模式，而这正是我们所谓“文化”的主要成分。等到文化出现，就再也无法停止改变和发展，而这些无法阻挡的变化，就成了我们说的“历史”。于是，认识革命正是历史从生物学中脱离而独立存在的起点。在这之前，所有人...
评分人从哪里来？要到哪里去？这是古今中外哲学家们契而不舍思索的问题。从神创论到达尔文演化论，对第一个问题的解答似已尘埃落定，如今大部分人相信人从猴子演变而来，一小部分人仍坚信人是上帝(神)的独特创造。第二个问题的答案却随着人类社会几何速度的变化发展越发扑朔迷...

2019/01 听了一年终于听完了，感觉audiobook不太适合我。认真听的几个章节都觉得很棒。
评分现在的人类从何而来？这本书给了非常独特而有趣的见解。

评分准确的说，是听完的......人生中第一部听完的大部头书。就内容本身来说，后半部分，特别是结尾有点掉链子。其他的，当作不同思路来参考也可以，并不必事事同意他的观点。猪肉照吃，牛奶照喝。
评分From ” what do we want to become”, to “ what do we want to want “. It is with such immense privilege and self indulgence we try to understand the science and physics of desire.
