喜欢的书籍：人类简史

《人类简史》是一部试图写清人类历史的书。然而它又截然不同于往期读过的历史叙述，那些书大多将目光集中在某一朝代、某一时期或者某一历史事件，他们写作的重点大多在于厘清事实。还有一些人类史、文明史，通常以文明为单位讲述过去，宏观概括，重点在于叙述文明的发展与文明间的互动。

而作者试图通过该书来回答人类是怎么样从一种普通的动物变成世界的统治者，人类又要走向何处。因此，这本书的切入视角非常宏大，不拘泥于一国一土，反而有点类似于外太空史学家正在对人类的演化进行复盘。

书中给我比较深刻的概念如：“虚构和想象”的概念、对农业革命的独特看法、关于宗教和村落的阐述（哥贝克石阵表明有可能是先有宗教，后衍生出村落）以及人类统一的三条道路（商业、宗教、帝国）还有科学革命下人类对自己无知的认同（早期的知识体系是用故事构成理论，耳现在科学用的则是数学）。

尤瓦尔在学术领域和大众出版领域的专攻，也导致了他笔下的历史同时具有了学术性与可读性的双重价值，在中国出版之后，曾引起过巨大的反响。

北京大学历史学教授高毅曾评价该书为业内“奇书，该书不但涉及了物理学、化学、生物学、人类学、生态学等多种学科，而且对其引用亦非常精到，对作为一个物种的智人乃至整个社会的来龙去脉，都做出了全方位的考察和预测，堪称跨学科研究历史的典范。
