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.

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...

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》? ...

达尔文的进化论提出至今已有一百五十多年,它有两点伟大之处,一是击碎了宗教中“神造万物”的神话,二是将人类置于同其他生物一样的进化历程当中。 如今,绝大多数人对生命起源早已有了共识,但学界一般对人类的进化还放不下“妄自尊大”的架子。应该说,这种“妄自尊大”也并...

猿类进化为人类用了几百万年,早起智人进化成现代人类用了用了几十万年,而现代人类从农业革命到工业革命用了几千年,从工业革命到信息革命仅仅用了不到三百年,人类的进化正在不断加速,相比于外形上进化的速度,基因进化掀起的浪潮更为汹涌。 每天淹没在毫无变化的人海中,你...

在一些考古学家和人类学家看来,自出“出非洲”以来,特别是最近的1万年间,人类的进化已经基本“停滞”了,那些能看到的比较明显的变化主要体现在文化方面,如果我们能够穿越,回到1万年前去看一看,应当发现那时的人类和现在没有任何生物上的区别。 对于这样的观点,本书的两...
