Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, "Guns, Germs, and Steel" is a brilliant work answering the question of why the peoples of certain continents succeeded in invading other continents and conquering or displacing their peoples. This edition includes a new chapter on Japan and all-new illustrations drawn from the television series. Until around 11,000 BC, all peoples were still Stone Age hunter/gatherers. At that point, a great divide occurred in the rates that human societies evolved. In Eurasia, parts of the Americas, and Africa, farming became the prevailing mode of existence when indigenous wild plants and animals were domesticated by prehistoric planters and herders. As Jared Diamond vividly reveals, the very people who gained a head start in producing food would collide with preliterate cultures, shaping the modern world through conquest, displacement, and genocide.The paths that lead from scattered centers of food to broad bands of settlement had a great deal to do with climate and geography. But how did differences in societies arise? Why weren't native Australians, Americans, or Africans the ones to colonize Europe? Diamond dismantles pernicious racial theories tracing societal differences to biological differences. He assembles convincing evidence linking germs to domestication of animals, germs that Eurasians then spread in epidemic proportions in their voyages of discovery. In its sweep, "Guns, Germs and Steel" encompasses the rise of agriculture, technology, writing, government, and religion, providing a unifying theory of human history as intriguing as the histories of dinosaurs and glaciers.

http://headsalon.org/archives/1530.html 不知何故,对Jared Diamond那本雄心勃勃的《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》(Guns, Germs, and Steel)一直不抱多大期望,或许是我对畅销书有些偏见吧,但这次显然错了,读过前几章,已让我惊叹:这正是多年来我所期待的那种历史研究啊。 年轻...

尽管anthropology在国外很多学院已有上百年历史,人类学在国内似乎还是一个很年轻的词语,相关的中文书籍也不是很多,Jared Diamond的这本普利策获奖作品不失为了解这一领域的一扇大门。 除了文字的记录,考古的发掘,其实还可以从许多角度审视历史,不同的方法,变幻的尺度,...

自己看了一半,难以遏制的在心里批驳作者的各种佐证,感觉自己不适合看这种半科普性质的书,太累。。。虽然最后还是用开车的时间在Audible上听完了。。。
