Dr. Yuval Noah Harari lectures at the Department of History, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
He originally specialized in medieval history and military history, completing his D.Phil. at the University of Oxford (Jesus College) in 2002, and publishing numerous books and articles, including Special Operations in the Age of Chivalry, 1100-1550; The Ultimate Experience: Battlefield Revelations and the Making of Modern War Culture, 1450-2000; “The Concept of ‘Decisive Battles’ in World History”; and “Armchairs, Coffee and Authority: Eye-witnesses and Flesh-witnesses Speak about War, 1100-2000”.
He now specializes in World History and macro-historical processes. His most recent book is titled From Animals into Gods: A Brief History of Humankind (originally published in Hebrew under the title A Brief History of Mankind, and now being translated into English and German). The book surveys the entire length of human history, from the evolution of Homo sapiens in Pleistocene East Africa up to the political and technological revolutions of the 21st-century.
The Hebrew edition has become a bestseller in Israel. It has generated much interest both in the academic community and among the general public, and has turned Harari into an instant celebrity. YouTube Video clips of Harari’s lectures on the history of the world have been viewed by tens of thousands of Israelis; and he is currently writing a two-weekly column for Ha’aretz magazine. He is also currently giving an online free course with the same title.

《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...
评分乘地铁,车还没到,抬头看电视屏幕,瞥见一个穿白大褂的中年男人正在讲解割双眼皮的三种方式,对面的广告牌上,一个美丽的女人骄傲地展示着整容之后的五官,大眼睛,双眼皮,尖下巴,眼神迷离,一脸茫然。 我并不想对整容做道德评价,而是想还原一个事实:我们已经生活在一个...
评分《人类简史》是本很火的书,火到国内市场还出现仿冒作了。但是在本右派看来,这不过说明,学院左派分子依然死不悔改。换了一套术语,其实换汤不换药。 在评论或者说批评此书之前,我先大概介绍一些老左派分子和新左派分子们的区别。 老左派分子,就是马大胡子开始的。他们...
评分孟子主张性善论,三字经也有这样的句子,“人之初,性本善”。而当我看完《人类简史》之后,对人 “善”的观点瞬间破灭。 作者尤瓦尔•赫拉利,青年的历史学家。《人类简史》他用简单的语言、真实的历史实例,写出了复杂、难懂又枯燥的人类史。本书讲述了人类对世界...
评分这本书给我的观感,一言以蔽之,即为“标新立异”。作者结合了自己所涉猎过的许多方面,试图从一个全新的广阔的角度来解读人类史,但由于他的涉猎广而不精,以至于我不得不说,他几乎在任何一方面都做得不好。仅就几个我比较了解的领域而言,作为一个半外行,我仍然能够挑出他...

From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity’s creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.”
One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us?
Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.
Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become?
Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem
现在的人类从何而来?这本书给了非常独特而有趣的见解。
