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).
'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.
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...
评分以色列40岁的年轻学者的专著,博学而见解独到。我还从没有读过这样的研究人类历史的书,抛开了过去的所有讲述历史的概念与框架,从7亿年前起,“智人” 通过“认知革命”、“农业革命”、“工业革命”、“科学革命”而成为地球上唯一的、最大的宿主;通过金钱、帝国、宗教建立...
评分 评分这是我在微信读书App讲《人类简史》的文稿,37分钟音频版请登录微信读书App,直接点击《人类简史》即可听我讲的音频版哦。 我们为什么对历史感兴趣? 又该如何阅读历史? 有人说,日光之下,并无新事,所有的事情,都在历史上有章可循,于是,阅读历史,我们可以发现必然的规律...
评分本书评仅针对第十九章内容。 小学时看过一个关于太阳演化的科普片,说是大约50亿年以后,太阳将演化为红巨星,体积膨胀并吞并数个行星,包括地球在内。 也就是说,地球终将灭亡。 后来学了物理,知道这事虽不是千真万确,但也八九不离十了。当然,50亿年是个过于漫长的时间,人...
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it has been ten years, for the reappearance of my indulgence
评分The Animal that Became a God.
评分非常有洞见有信息量(aka很啰嗦)的书 很多全新的角度打开智人的历史,很多观点还待慢慢消化 最后一章人类远景看得我心惊肉跳是我infer了吗 以及作者语言一流要学习一个
评分此书采用“大历史”的写法,避开具体的历史事件和历史人物,直接剖析人类各发展阶段的本质,“惊人”结论应接不暇,不少读者高呼过瘾。但近年来不断走俏的大历史类图书往往容易犯以偏概全的错误,只顾着抛结论、上概念,举例论证仅仅走个形式。比如本书论证农业时代的人类不如采集者生活幸福,比如把个人主义描述为国家和市场摧毁家庭和社群的“第五纵队”等。此书另一大特色是紧紧抓住“虚构”这个概念不放,全书所有观点都从中生发,显得高度统一、立场鲜明。虽然人类认知革命始于虚构能力的观点并非作者原创,但此书贵在一以贯之。从认知革命到想象的秩序,再到各种宗教,最后是想象的共同体,作者始终用“虚构”这个元素解释人类各个阶段的发展变化,形成完整的逻辑链条,成为本书利用大量惊人结论发动攻势之外征服读者的另一个原因。
