具体描述
100,000 years ago, at least six human species inhabited the earth. Today there is just one.
Us.
Homo sapiens.
How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations and human rights; to trust money, books and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come?
In Sapiens, Dr Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical - and sometimes devastating - breakthroughs of the Cognitive, Agricultural and Scientific Revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, palaeontology and economics, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Have we become happier as history has unfolded? Can we ever free our behaviour from the heritage of our ancestors? And what, if anything, can we do to influence the course of the centuries to come?
Bold, wide-ranging and provocative, Sapiens challenges everything we thought we knew about being human: our thoughts, our actions, our power ... and our future.

读后感
如果说有一本书，不到五百页，没有一堆令人晕头转向的年份、人名、地名、称号，就能涵盖了人类如何崛起、影响现代生活甚巨的资本主义、一神教、自由人文主义、基因工程如何兴盛的人类历史重大脉络……那就是这本神奇的、同时摆放在“历史”和“畅销”分类里的「人类简史」。 ...
评分 评分《人类简史》是本很火的书，火到国内市场还出现仿冒作了。但是在本右派看来，这不过说明，学院左派分子依然死不悔改。换了一套术语，其实换汤不换药。 在评论或者说批评此书之前，我先大概介绍一些老左派分子和新左派分子们的区别。 老左派分子，就是马大胡子开始的。他们...
用户评价
最重要的是，胆子够大。对自己，对别人，都够狠。已经开始重读。
评分讲智人与黑猩猩、尼安德特人等区别的部分还挺有趣，后半人类历史就是老生常谈了
评分格局宏大，诚实，清醒，作者尝试在打通自然科学，文学，社科的限制，将之统一在科学的视域下，人类的演化之路由此较为清晰地铺陈开来，绝对的天才之作。
评分没啥太大意思，进化人类学，经济学，传播学的杂俎，纯练听力了
评分本书的高潮在Cognitive Revolution，之后关于农业革命的部分夹杂太多私货，关于经济、宗教和意识形态的观点并不新颖，但是作者文笔不错，比较好的博采众长。最后的1/3部分略冗长。
