评分有趣的是 所有Homo Sapien一开始都是血腥荒蛮 弱肉强食的Hunter-gatherer 然而作者强调human nature却并不是这样暴力混乱的 anyway 总结这本书就是“climate change”leads to everything (agriculture>technology, population growth>culture and state)
Robert L. Kelly is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Wyoming. He is a past president of the Society for American Archaeology, current editor of American Antiquity, author of The Lifeways of Hunter-Gatherers, and coauthor of two popular textbooks, Archaeology and Archaeology: Down to Earth. He has conducted archaeological research throughout the western United States for more than forty years.
“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.
罗伯特·L.凯利曾任美国考古学会会长,美国怀俄明大学人类学系教授,学识素养深厚。近作《第五次开始》却无意于艰深研讨,而“有意保持短小、愉悦,有时甚至轻松”,并在表述史前史时有意将它与我们的当下和未来相提并论。 冰箱、电视、青霉素;真空管、电脑、云网络;人口爆炸...
评分 评分(本文是杭侃老师为《第五次开始(审读本)》撰写的意见,首发于“纸上考古”公众号,欢迎关注) 1918 年 11 月 7 日,一位年近六旬的长者与他二十五岁的儿子有这样一次对话。 长者问儿子:“这个世界会好吗?”儿子回答道:“我相信世界是一天一天往好里去的。” “能好就好啊...
评分 评分买书参考豆瓣评论前几位是很冒险的事情,贪图省力希望阅读一本短小精悍的所谓专家的科普书而获得真知更是一厢情愿。 这本书里,我没有看到一点点考古学方面的干货,内容简单到令人怀疑。不要说近年如《人类六万年》《进击的智人》这些内容充实的考古人类学的科普著作了,连一些...
