'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).

我常想,人類學的重要意義,大概就是提醒我們,更廣大的世界,在我們的視綫之外。我們習慣於偏嚮與我們的社會結構和文化結構相近的群體,而容易忽視瞭異世界的“確有價值”。因此當我聽聞最近有一本“奇書”——《人類簡史》,我便有瞭強烈的閱讀興趣。 以色列作傢尤瓦爾•赫...
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...
評分文/曼佳 最近一直被人推薦《人類簡史》這本書,一個70後的以色列曆史學傢寫的風靡全球的著作。全書講的是人類的故事,從曆史又是從哲學的角度,講述人從生物學的起源是什麼樣的,從宇宙的哪裏來,要到未來的哪裏去的故事,這樣的書,是要很安靜的環境和很安靜的心纔能好好讀完...
評分 評分如果說有一本書,不到五百頁,沒有一堆令人暈頭轉嚮的年份、人名、地名、稱號,就能涵蓋瞭人類如何崛起、影響現代生活甚巨的資本主義、一神教、自由人文主義、基因工程如何興盛的人類曆史重大脈絡……那就是這本神奇的、同時擺放在“曆史”和“暢銷”分類裏的「人類簡史」。 ...

評分前19章充滿洞見,幾乎每一章都很有趣,都很讓人啓發。但最後一張關於人類未來的描述很倒胃口,讓人很不舒服。無論如何,這本書讓我重拾瞭自讀 Guns, Germs and Streels 以來的驚喜,甚至超越瞭我原以為無法超越的後者!"Is there anything more dangerous than dissatisfied and irresponsible gods who don't know what they want?"
評分這本書與其是當作串曆史的科普書,不如當成索引去看。輕鬆好讀又流暢且all-encompassing。不過真的感謝今天能一鼓作氣把最後一個尾巴用三四個小時讀完瞭。毫不間斷地沉浸在其中去讀這種感覺真的好棒。
