The 10,000 Year Explosion pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
A manifesto for and an example of a new kind of history, a biological history, and not just of the prehistoric era Scientists have long believed that the 'great leap forward' that occurred some 40,000 to 50,000 years ago in Europe marked the end of significant biological evolution in humans. In this stunning account of our evolutionary history, top scholars Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending reject this conventional wisdom and reveal that the human species has undergone a storm of genetic change much more recently. Human evolution in fact accelerated after civilisation arose, they contend, and these ongoing changes have played a pivotal role in human history. They argue that biology explains the expansion of the Indo-Europeans, the European conquest of the Americas, and European Jews' rise to intellectual prominence. In each of these cases, the key was recent genetic change: adult milk tolerance in the early Indo-Europeans that allowed for a new way of life, increased disease resistance among the Europeans settling America, and new versions of neurological genes among European Jews. Ranging across subjects as diverse as human domestication, Neanderthal hybridization, and IQ tests, Cochran and Harpending's analysis demonstrates convincingly that human genetics have changed and can continue to change much more rapidly than scientists have previously believed. A provocative and fascinating look at human evolution, "The 10,000 Year Explosion" reveals the ongoing interplay between culture and biology in the making of the human race.

这本书是自带争议话题的,它无时无刻不在挑战传统的人类学理念,在当今占主导地位的是像贾雷德·戴蒙德这样认为环境主导人类历史的进程,人类的演化在过去很长的一段时间里面就趋于停滞了,这意味着人类在走出非洲后基于一样的条件,从根本上否定人种决定论,但很明显本书作者...
评分呼!好歹看完了,词汇表和注释也瞄了一眼。如今看完一本书越来越难,读书本领越来越渣。只有一条稍可安慰:屡败屡战。 这本书,似乎还没有中文名,应该叫做什么比较好?《一万年来人类的爆发式演化》?《演化一万年》?《生命不息,演化不止》?《一万年不少,足够演化》? ...
评分讲了和语言有相关性的基因,作者倾向于认为尼安德特人即使有那个基因,也很可能没有语言能力,而尼安德特人和智人的结合,很可能是4万年前人类文明爆发式增长的原因,以及提供了一些农业革命后人类进化的证据。其余部分,印象最深的是讲犹太人的进化历史。欧洲的犹太人因为各种...
评分人类还在进化吗? 辉格 2013年2月19日 对于人类为何会是现在这个样子的问题,在达尔文之前,可以说的大概只有“上帝照他自己样子造了我们”之类,而从达尔文以来,我们已经能够从许多方面更有意思的谈论它了,为何我们的眼睛会有盲点?因为我们的眼睛和其他脊椎动物的一样,最...
