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.

評分其實跟ent同學說的是差不多的事情啦…… The 10000 Year Explosion這本書最主要也是最大膽的argument就是反對瞭一直以來人類學傢的那種傳統理論,即人類在10000年以來生物上的進化已趨於停滯,主要的進化是文化上的;10000年前的故人穿越到現在,與現代人沒有任何生物上的區彆...
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...
評分達爾文的進化論提齣至今已有一百五十多年,它有兩點偉大之處,一是擊碎瞭宗教中“神造萬物”的神話,二是將人類置於同其他生物一樣的進化曆程當中。 如今,絕大多數人對生命起源早已有瞭共識,但學界一般對人類的進化還放不下“妄自尊大”的架子。應該說,這種“妄自尊大”也並...

評分一萬年前,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
