A manifesto for and an example of a new kind of history, a biological history, and not just of the prehistoric era Scientists have long believed that the 'great leap forward' that occurred some 40,000 to 50,000 years ago in Europe marked the end of significant biological evolution in humans. In this stunning account of our evolutionary history, top scholars Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending reject this conventional wisdom and reveal that the human species has undergone a storm of genetic change much more recently. Human evolution in fact accelerated after civilisation arose, they contend, and these ongoing changes have played a pivotal role in human history. They argue that biology explains the expansion of the Indo-Europeans, the European conquest of the Americas, and European Jews' rise to intellectual prominence. In each of these cases, the key was recent genetic change: adult milk tolerance in the early Indo-Europeans that allowed for a new way of life, increased disease resistance among the Europeans settling America, and new versions of neurological genes among European Jews. Ranging across subjects as diverse as human domestication, Neanderthal hybridization, and IQ tests, Cochran and Harpending's analysis demonstrates convincingly that human genetics have changed and can continue to change much more rapidly than scientists have previously believed. A provocative and fascinating look at human evolution, "The 10,000 Year Explosion" reveals the ongoing interplay between culture and biology in the making of the human race.
达尔文的进化论提出至今已有一百五十多年,它有两点伟大之处,一是击碎了宗教中“神造万物”的神话,二是将人类置于同其他生物一样的进化历程当中。 如今,绝大多数人对生命起源早已有了共识,但学界一般对人类的进化还放不下“妄自尊大”的架子。应该说,这种“妄自尊大”也并...

罗里吧嗦的。。。。如果不否认人类是种生命,怎么能否认人类还在演化呢。。。。
评分感觉这个书其实挺一般的, 没有带给我什么新东西... 感觉什么都没讲啊...很多地方完全可以更深入的

评分影响英语阅读速度的首要因素是兴趣
评分过年在Kindle上看了一个Sample章节,讲得很有道理啊,维护这样的观点——人群之间不存在生物学上差异——有那么重要吗,事实就是事实啊。
