零、 戴蒙德的专业是生物学和新几内亚人类学考察,除此之外写的都是科普书,而且前后重复(后面所有的书不过是扩写他的第一本书第三种猩猩而已),观点陈旧(他的人类学理论训练很可能停留在人类学2.0版本的反思民族志之前,因此习以为常地使用人类学1.0版本的西方中心论或东方...

评分 评分作为后人,我们总是免不了要对发生过的历史作些“如果”的想象,特别是当这种历史对我们是带有屈辱色彩的历史。比如中国人就常想“如果戊戌变法成功了中国如何”,“没有文化大革命又如何”,同时也会有大量“为什么这样,为什么那样”的问题,如“为什么日本能维新成功,...

This book answers the most obvious, the most important, yet the most difficult question about human history: why history unfolded so differently on different continents.

评分作者自己一句话总结:“History followed different courses for different peoples because of differences among peoples' environments, not because of biological differences among peoples themselves.” 这种通过把社会科学提出的高低问题洋洋洒洒地平摊给自然科学的手段,不失为anti-Racism一法。配合同获普利策的另一哈佛人Wilson的《Sociobiology: The New Synthesis》风味更佳。

评分4.8分,有的人评价不高,说书中的关于人种的解释没有靠谱的。但我认为这并不能降低这本书的价值,这本巨著包括了很多学科的知识,当然会有错误,但更多是震撼的洞见。
