Review
"I have long been a fan of David Christian. In Origin Story, he elegantly weaves evidence and insights from many scientific and historical disciplines into a single, accessible historical narrative."
―Bill Gates
"In Origin Story, David Christian has found a spectacular way to use history to put order in the entire set of our knowledge about the world. This is a wonderful achievement."
―Carlo Rovelli, author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and The Order of Time
"A remarkable book that puts us self-important humans in our proper place in the cosmos, yet also explains why the story of human culture and knowledge -- what Christian calls collective learning -- matters for understanding our present world and shaping its future."―Merry Wiesner-Hanks, President of the World History Association
"David Christian is not one for half measures. Origin Story is a majestic distillation of our current understanding of the birth and development of the universe, of the solar system, of the oceans, of mountains and minerals, of all life on earth and of the driving dynamics of human culture and achievement. All of this in just over 300 pages of captivating prose that weaves together innumerable insights from dozens of disciplines in the sciences, arts and humanities. With fascinating ideas on every page and the page turning energy of a good thriller, this is a landmark work that comes at a time when it has never been more important for humanity as a whole to have a clearer, more informed understanding of our place on earth and of the earth's place in the cosmos."―Sir Ken Robinson, author of The Element

读后感
诚然，宇宙本身谈不上什么意义，意义终归是源于人。“宇宙有什么意义？”神话和宗教学者约瑟夫·坎贝尔曾这样探问，“跳蚤又有什么意义？它就在那里，仅此而已，而你自身的意义正是因为你就在那里”。 为何灵长目动物的脑量这么大？提出这样一个问题好像真是没脑子（请原谅这么...
评分“大历史”一词，最初源自美国历史学者大卫·克里斯蒂安开设的一门课程：以枝干分明的框架勾勒出宇宙大爆炸至今的历史，以跨学科的视野讲述这一宏大主题。自此，“大历史”的概念深受学者和知名人士的推荐，相关著作亦不乏来者。大卫·克里斯蒂安本人就针对不同的读者群出版了...
评分本书英文原版出于2018年，作者在书中提到写作截至时间是2017年。在翻译书中算是比较新的了。 基本内容我概括是：宇宙简史+地球简史+生命简史+人类简史。前三项不仅讲了目前人类最新的认识，还讲了相关的证据以及对应的原理。 宇宙简史：从137亿年前的大爆炸说起，讲物质的起源...

评分大卫·克里斯蒂安（David Christian）的作品在豆瓣评分不算低，即便是其中评价最差的《极简人类史》也有60.6%的好评。只闻其名未读其书的我，在一开始是对作者的一系列作品抱有极大期待的，同时也下单购买了《大历史》与《时间地图》，近来我对此类科普类读物、通识类读物有着...

内容大都在其他地方见到过。比较有意思的是作者把自然历史和生物乃至人类历史都放在能量与熵的框架里考虑
评分Thx gates recommend .The efficiency（is not speed），increasing efficiencies in the use of energy and materials will eventually reduce total energy consumption and recycling of existing materials will reduce comsumption of new minerals and resources almost to zero. To do anyting requires energy but to specify what is done requires information.
评分本来也不可能在一本书里讲完从宇宙诞生到人类文明发展至今的全部内容还包括细节吧，主要读个框架体系和思维模式。Imagine what the world will be if only history classes in high school were taught this way...
评分中规中矩，如果了解大历史的话就没有耳目一新的感觉，但是大历史观我很认可，3.5
评分Fascinating journey from the beginning of the universe towards the future world of human society.
