This book answers the most obvious, the most important, yet the most difficult question about human history: why history unfolded so differently on different continents. Geography and biography, not race, moulded the contrasting fates of Europeans, Asians, Native Americans, sub-Saharan Africans, and aboriginal Australians. An ambitious synthesis of history, biology, ecology and linguistics, Guns, Germs and Steel is one of the most important and humane works of popular science.

Circumstances change, and past primacy is no guarantee of future primacy. 正所谓时势造英雄,英雄亦适时罢。花了一个多月断断续续地读完这本小书,用振聋发聩来形容毫不为过。

对不起啊,名作读完,评价其实很负面。。。阅读过程也不愉悦。这么厚一本书,其实200页就能讲清楚了吧.......

人类发展的简史,个人世界观的奠基石。在人类历史这个宏大课题上难以被超越的一部撼世著作。

五个半月终于读完,学术跨度极大,且有趣味性,也并非“唯我独尊”风格,极大拓展了我对世界的基础认知。

非常严谨的科普,看了有对人类进程有了解,也对一些问题有了新的看待角度。例如为什么中国科技水平以前领先外国,后来又会落后 就是生词有点多,应该要再重读一次

实在看不下去了,太多理论可能已经被引用太多次,没有了新鲜感。
