具體描述
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.

讀後感
乘地铁，车还没到，抬头看电视屏幕，瞥见一个穿白大褂的中年男人正在讲解割双眼皮的三种方式，对面的广告牌上，一个美丽的女人骄傲地展示着整容之后的五官，大眼睛，双眼皮，尖下巴，眼神迷离，一脸茫然。 我并不想对整容做道德评价，而是想还原一个事实：我们已经生活在一个...
評分如果说有一本书，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」。 ...
評分智人发明出了许许多多的想象现实，也因而发展出许许多多的行为模式，而这正是我们所谓“文化”的主要成分。等到文化出现，就再也无法停止改变和发展，而这些无法阻挡的变化，就成了我们说的“历史”。于是，认识革命正是历史从生物学中脱离而独立存在的起点。在这之前，所有人...

用戶評價
講智人與黑猩猩、尼安德特人等區彆的部分還挺有趣，後半人類曆史就是老生常談瞭
评分快樂，極難定義，於科技水平和生産力無關，每個人有自己的所謂快感穩定值。一個現代人類，可能終其一生無法體會，原始人獵殺猛獁的快感。
评分書很好玩啊，雖然流於籠統，像個玩笑之作。另外Harari的課太囉嗦瞭，可見還是看書好啊，廢話兩個小時就能翻完……感覺演化心理學在熠熠生輝，還感覺Harari對曆史的看法跟牟宗三差不多。。“我們現在所知的世界，不過是隨機曆史事件的偶然結果……學習曆史的目的在於解脫桎梏，讓我們能更靈活地轉動我們的腦袋，用新的方式進行思考，發現未來的無限可能。”
评分Is there anything more dangerous than dissatisfied and irresponsible gods who don't know what they want?
评分作者文筆不錯, 讀起來很生動. 對我來講非常mindblowing的幾個觀點: 智人與其他動物最基本的區彆在於其想象力-能構建和錶達不存在/抽象的東西; 若多種智人都生存下來, 現代社會將會是什麼樣子; 農業革命是個人幸福感的倒退, 卻促進瞭群體的發展; 對於早期文字係統的發展, 文字本身的齣現隻是其中一環, 更重要的是文字信息的分類記錄係統; 種族歧視是曆史偶然在社會, 經濟, 政治和文化的惡性循環中産生的. 還是第一章講智人起源的部分最powerful.
