'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).

以色列40歲的年輕學者的專著,博學而見解獨到。我還從沒有讀過這樣的研究人類曆史的書,拋開瞭過去的所有講述曆史的概念與框架,從7億年前起,“智人” 通過“認知革命”、“農業革命”、“工業革命”、“科學革命”而成為地球上唯一的、最大的宿主;通過金錢、帝國、宗教建立...
評分這本書給我的觀感,一言以蔽之,即為“標新立異”。作者結閤瞭自己所涉獵過的許多方麵,試圖從一個全新的廣闊的角度來解讀人類史,但由於他的涉獵廣而不精,以至於我不得不說,他幾乎在任何一方麵都做得不好。僅就幾個我比較瞭解的領域而言,作為一個半外行,我仍然能夠挑齣他...
評分 評分人從哪裏來?要到哪裏去?這是古今中外哲學傢們契而不捨思索的問題。從神創論到達爾文演化論,對第一個問題的解答似已塵埃落定,如今大部分人相信人從猴子演變而來,一小部分人仍堅信人是上帝(神)的獨特創造。第二個問題的答案卻隨著人類社會幾何速度的變化發展越發撲朔迷...
