This is The Sunday Times Bestseller. Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it. Us. We are the most advanced and most destructive animals ever to have lived. What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens? In this bold and provocative book, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we're going. Sapiens is a thrilling account of humankind's extraordinary history - from the Stone Age to the Silicon Age - and our journey from insignificant apes to rulers of the world. "It tackles the biggest questions of history and of the modern world, and it is written in unforgettably vivid language. You will love it!" (Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs and Steel).
'I encourage all of us, whatever our beliefs, to question the basic narratives of our world, to connect past developments with present concerns, and not to be afraid of controversial issues.' Dr Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History. His research focuses on broad questions, such as: What is the relation between history and biology? Is there justice in history? Did people become happier as history unfolded? 65,000 people have signed up to his online course, A Brief History of Humankind. Sapiens is an international bestseller and is being published in more than 30 languages worldwide. In 2012 Harari was awarded the annual Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality in the Humanistic Disciplines.
如果一切都是人类想出来的,会让我对民主、公正、自由之类的词语感受不同吗?我想不会,因为“想”正是进化给予人类最珍贵的礼物之一,而“想”所创造的东西,哪怕不具备实体并且内涵如流沙般变动,也不因此而变得不重要。
评分Mind-blowing!!!
评分Culture is a parasite; agriculture is a trap; ideologies are just modern religions; consumerism’s the heaven promised by capitalism as a religion. And at the end of the day human society is operating based on myths instead of facts.
评分The Animal that Became a God.
评分Is there anything more dangerous than dissatisfied and irresponsible gods who don't know what they want?//时隔近两年,读了Vintage版。相当适合用作英语阅读,作者的文笔很舒服,实属应该畅销的作品。而且总的来说还是非常有启示的。//2017-12-19在网易云听的中信版
这是我在微信读书App讲《人类简史》的文稿,37分钟音频版请登录微信读书App,直接点击《人类简史》即可听我讲的音频版哦。 我们为什么对历史感兴趣? 又该如何阅读历史? 有人说,日光之下,并无新事,所有的事情,都在历史上有章可循,于是,阅读历史,我们可以发现必然的规律...
评分这本书给我的观感,一言以蔽之,即为“标新立异”。作者结合了自己所涉猎过的许多方面,试图从一个全新的广阔的角度来解读人类史,但由于他的涉猎广而不精,以至于我不得不说,他几乎在任何一方面都做得不好。仅就几个我比较了解的领域而言,作为一个半外行,我仍然能够挑出他...
评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...

评分老實講,我不知道該怎麼評述《人類簡史》。本書那飽含當代人優越的惡意寫法,讓學術研究淪為地攤貨,令我讀起來十分不悅,但仔細想想,這本書之所以這麼熱門,接受度還特別地高,不就表示普通人愛的就是這種酸來罵去但毫無建樹的「批判」精神嗎? 平心而論,它的確有專業的一面...
