智人发明出了许许多多的想象现实,也因而发展出许许多多的行为模式,而这正是我们所谓“文化”的主要成分。等到文化出现,就再也无法停止改变和发展,而这些无法阻挡的变化,就成了我们说的“历史”。于是,认识革命正是历史从生物学中脱离而独立存在的起点。在这之前,所有人...
评分如果说有一本书,不到五百页,没有一堆令人晕头转向的年份、人名、地名、称号,就能涵盖了人类如何崛起、影响现代生活甚巨的资本主义、一神教、自由人文主义、基因工程如何兴盛的人类历史重大脉络……那就是这本神奇的、同时摆放在“历史”和“畅销”分类里的「人类简史」。 ...

评分《人类简史》已经不算是一本新书了,我也早早就买下,但却读不下去,当时我根本就懒得谈这本书,因为写得非常一般。让我纳闷的是,这本书在坊间的评价极高,和我的观感大相径庭,当时也没太当回事,也许我水平高呢。直到前些日子,万维刚在他的专栏力捧这本书。万维刚是我的偶...

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.
三星半吧,其实里面的观点要是分解看,早在其他专著里都提过,从人类演化,到农业革命,到货币历史,到资本主义兴起,甚至幸福心理学,未来的畅想等等……我想这个作者比较聪明的一点是把这些都揉在一起写,串成了一个故事,略有oversimplication的嫌疑,但泛读还是不错的。
评分把地球横向与纵向历史的混沌组织的清晰易读不说,让人读的饶有趣味,语言兼顾轻盈与优美。一本人类历史读完,更觉得虽然已有那么多伟大的发明,作为一个物种,我们依然如此的小聪明。
评分没啥太大意思,进化人类学,经济学,传播学的杂俎,纯练听力了

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.
