Dr. Yuval Noah Harari lectures at the Department of History, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

He originally specialized in medieval history and military history, completing his D.Phil. at the University of Oxford (Jesus College) in 2002, and publishing numerous books and articles, including Special Operations in the Age of Chivalry, 1100-1550; The Ultimate Experience: Battlefield Revelations and the Making of Modern War Culture, 1450-2000; “The Concept of ‘Decisive Battles’ in World History”; and “Armchairs, Coffee and Authority: Eye-witnesses and Flesh-witnesses Speak about War, 1100-2000”.

He now specializes in World History and macro-historical processes. His most recent book is titled From Animals into Gods: A Brief History of Humankind (originally published in Hebrew under the title A Brief History of Mankind, and now being translated into English and German). The book surveys the entire length of human history, from the evolution of Homo sapiens in Pleistocene East Africa up to the political and technological revolutions of the 21st-century.

The Hebrew edition has become a bestseller in Israel. It has generated much interest both in the academic community and among the general public, and has turned Harari into an instant celebrity. YouTube Video clips of Harari’s lectures on the history of the world have been viewed by tens of thousands of Israelis; and he is currently writing a two-weekly column for Ha’aretz magazine. He is also currently giving an online free course with the same title.

From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity’s creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.”

One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us?

Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas.

Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become?

Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem

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」。 ...

人从哪里来?要到哪里去?这是古今中外哲学家们契而不舍思索的问题。从神创论到达尔文演化论,对第一个问题的解答似已尘埃落定,如今大部分人相信人从猴子演变而来,一小部分人仍坚信人是上帝(神)的独特创造。第二个问题的答案却随着人类社会几何速度的变化发展越发扑朔迷...

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...

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...

准确的说,是听完的......人生中第一部听完的大部头书。就内容本身来说,后半部分,特别是结尾有点掉链子。其他的,当作不同思路来参考也可以,并不必事事同意他的观点。猪肉照吃,牛奶照喝。
