'I encourage all of us, whatever our beliefs, to question the basic narratives of our world, to connect past developments with present concerns, and not to be afraid of controversial issues.' Dr Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History. His research focuses on broad questions, such as: What is the relation between history and biology? Is there justice in history? Did people become happier as history unfolded? 65,000 people have signed up to his online course, A Brief History of Humankind. Sapiens is an international bestseller and is being published in more than 30 languages worldwide. In 2012 Harari was awarded the annual Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality in the Humanistic Disciplines.
This is The Sunday Times Bestseller. Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it. Us. We are the most advanced and most destructive animals ever to have lived. What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens? In this bold and provocative book, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we're going. Sapiens is a thrilling account of humankind's extraordinary history - from the Stone Age to the Silicon Age - and our journey from insignificant apes to rulers of the world. "It tackles the biggest questions of history and of the modern world, and it is written in unforgettably vivid language. You will love it!" (Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs and Steel).

乘地鐵,車還沒到,抬頭看電視屏幕,瞥見一個穿白大褂的中年男人正在講解割雙眼皮的三種方式,對麵的廣告牌上,一個美麗的女人驕傲地展示著整容之後的五官,大眼睛,雙眼皮,尖下巴,眼神迷離,一臉茫然。 我並不想對整容做道德評價,而是想還原一個事實:我們已經生活在一個...
評分 評分《人類簡史》已經不算是一本新書瞭,我也早早就買下,但卻讀不下去,當時我根本就懶得談這本書,因為寫得非常一般。讓我納悶的是,這本書在坊間的評價極高,和我的觀感大相徑庭,當時也沒太當迴事,也許我水平高呢。直到前些日子,萬維剛在他的專欄力捧這本書。萬維剛是我的偶...
評分孟子主張性善論,三字經也有這樣的句子,“人之初,性本善”。而當我看完《人類簡史》之後,對人 “善”的觀點瞬間破滅。 作者尤瓦爾•赫拉利,青年的曆史學傢。《人類簡史》他用簡單的語言、真實的曆史實例,寫齣瞭復雜、難懂又枯燥的人類史。本書講述瞭人類對世界...
評分尤瓦爾的這本人類簡史是一本非常驚艷之作,作者以極其廣闊的思路和相當毒辣的筆觸,從人類心智發展的角度分析瞭人類文明的變遷。 開頭不久的一個結論就讓我對這本書留下瞭極其深刻的印象——智人優於動物之處,在於智人可以構建共同的“想象”/謊言/神話,而共同神話使得人類...

Enlightening book that guides you through the human history. Profound yet concise analysis of the human culture, society, science and development. Wonderful reading.
評分如果一切都是人類想齣來的,會讓我對民主、公正、自由之類的詞語感受不同嗎?我想不會,因為“想”正是進化給予人類最珍貴的禮物之一,而“想”所創造的東西,哪怕不具備實體並且內涵如流沙般變動,也不因此而變得不重要。
評分A holistic view of evolution of human beings: looking at the past, we get to know where we came from; seeing the world around us now, we feel like we can make real changes; glimpse into the future, we ask ourselves where we are heading to. The answer is unknown, that is the most scary part.
評分Culture is a parasite; agriculture is a trap; ideologies are just modern religions; consumerism’s the heaven promised by capitalism as a religion. And at the end of the day human society is operating based on myths instead of facts.
評分非常有洞見有信息量(aka很囉嗦)的書 很多全新的角度打開智人的曆史,很多觀點還待慢慢消化 最後一章人類遠景看得我心驚肉跳是我infer瞭嗎 以及作者語言一流要學習一個
