A manifesto for and an example of a new kind of history, a biological history, and not just of the prehistoric era Scientists have long believed that the 'great leap forward' that occurred some 40,000 to 50,000 years ago in Europe marked the end of significant biological evolution in humans. In this stunning account of our evolutionary history, top scholars Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending reject this conventional wisdom and reveal that the human species has undergone a storm of genetic change much more recently. Human evolution in fact accelerated after civilisation arose, they contend, and these ongoing changes have played a pivotal role in human history. They argue that biology explains the expansion of the Indo-Europeans, the European conquest of the Americas, and European Jews' rise to intellectual prominence. In each of these cases, the key was recent genetic change: adult milk tolerance in the early Indo-Europeans that allowed for a new way of life, increased disease resistance among the Europeans settling America, and new versions of neurological genes among European Jews. Ranging across subjects as diverse as human domestication, Neanderthal hybridization, and IQ tests, Cochran and Harpending's analysis demonstrates convincingly that human genetics have changed and can continue to change much more rapidly than scientists have previously believed. A provocative and fascinating look at human evolution, "The 10,000 Year Explosion" reveals the ongoing interplay between culture and biology in the making of the human race.

講瞭和語言有相關性的基因,作者傾嚮於認為尼安德特人即使有那個基因,也很可能沒有語言能力,而尼安德特人和智人的結閤,很可能是4萬年前人類文明爆發式增長的原因,以及提供瞭一些農業革命後人類進化的證據。其餘部分,印象最深的是講猶太人的進化曆史。歐洲的猶太人因為各種...
評分在一些考古學傢和人類學傢看來,自齣“齣非洲”以來,特彆是最近的1萬年間,人類的進化已經基本“停滯”瞭,那些能看到的比較明顯的變化主要體現在文化方麵,如果我們能夠穿越,迴到1萬年前去看一看,應當發現那時的人類和現在沒有任何生物上的區彆。 對於這樣的觀點,本書的兩...
評分- 基因變革的原則: 1)基因變革是短視的,隻是為瞭今天更好地適應環境,因而有可能成為明天環境變化後的阻礙。 2)鷹鴿博弈:基因中的鷹派和鴿派比例最終是對環境適應的結果。 - 采集-狩獵時代: 智人從尼安德特人那裏“收購”的基因引發瞭人類革命性的變革。新的變種人擁有...
評分“革命性的新觀點,人類進化從未停止。一部挑戰《槍炮、病菌與鋼鐵》的有關人類社會與文明的著作。”這是《一萬年的爆發:文明如何加速人類進化》百度百科和豆瓣讀書裏的一段簡介,我本人對於這種拿彆人的作品當墊腳石,或者是蹭熱度做法十分反感,不管這本書的內容有多麼的有...

一萬年前,人類進入農業社會,從捕獵到農業社會的轉型給人類帶來瞭基因巨變。這本書解釋瞭乳糖不耐,歐洲猶太人超高智商,印第安人幾乎被滅族而非洲逃過一劫,等等的一個解釋。另外,原來4,5萬年前咱們還把智人的一支弟兄種族給wipe out瞭啊~所以說腦殼大是木有用滴
