老實講,我不知道該怎麼評述《人類簡史》。本書那飽含當代人優越的惡意寫法,讓學術研究淪為地攤貨,令我讀起來十分不悅,但仔細想想,這本書之所以這麼熱門,接受度還特別地高,不就表示普通人愛的就是這種酸來罵去但毫無建樹的「批判」精神嗎? 平心而論,它的確有專業的一面...
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...

100,000 years ago, at least six human species inhabited the earth. Today there is just one.
Us.
Homo sapiens.
How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations and human rights; to trust money, books and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come?
In Sapiens, Dr Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical - and sometimes devastating - breakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural and Scientific Revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, palaeontology and economics, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Have we become happier as history has unfolded? Can we ever free our behaviour from the heritage of our ancestors? And what, if anything, can we do to influence the course of the centuries to come?
Bold, wide-ranging and provocative, Sapiens challenges everything we thought we knew about being human: our thoughts, our actions, our power ... and our future.
前面还可以,后面作者价值观输出太多
评分最重要的是,胆子够大。对自己,对别人,都够狠。已经开始重读。
评分前面还可以,后面作者价值观输出太多
评分作者文笔不错, 读起来很生动. 对我来讲非常mindblowing的几个观点: 智人与其他动物最基本的区别在于其想象力-能构建和表达不存在/抽象的东西; 若多种智人都生存下来, 现代社会将会是什么样子; 农业革命是个人幸福感的倒退, 却促进了群体的发展; 对于早期文字系统的发展, 文字本身的出现只是其中一环, 更重要的是文字信息的分类记录系统; 种族歧视是历史偶然在社会, 经济, 政治和文化的恶性循环中产生的. 还是第一章讲智人起源的部分最powerful.
