Sapiens : Краткая история человечества Sapiens : Kratkai︠a︡ istorii︠a︡ chelovechestva

Sto tysiach let nazad Homo sapiens byl odnim iz kak minimum shesti vidov cheloveka, zhivshikh na etoi planete, â€" nichem ne primechatelnym zhivotnym, kotoroe igralo v ekosisteme rol ne bolshuiu, chem gorilly, svetliachki ili meduzy. No okolo semidesiati tysiach let nazad zagadochnoe izmenenie kognitivnykh sposobnostei Homo sapiens prevratilo ego v khoziaina planety i koshmar ekosistemy. Kak chelovek razumnyi sumel pokorit mir? Chto stalo s drugimi vidami cheloveka? Kogda i pochemu poiavilis dengi, gosudarstva i religiia? Kak voznikali i rushilis imperii? Pochemu pochti vse obshchestva stavili zhenshchin nizhe muzhchin? Kak nauka i kapitalizm stali gospodstvuiushchimi veroucheniiami sovremennoi ery? Stanovilis li liudi s techeniem vremeni schastlivee? Kakoe budushchee nas ozhidaet? Iuval Kharari pokazyvaet, kak khod istorii formiroval chelovecheskoe obshchestvo i deistvitelnost vokrug nego. Ego kniga proslezhivaet sviaz mezhdu sobytiiami proshlogo i problemami sovremennosti i zastavliaet chitatelia peresmotret vse ustoiavshiesia predstavleniia ob okruzhaiushchem mire. From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity’s creation and evolution—a #1 international bestseller—that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be “human.” One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas. Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become? Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem. "Сто тысяч лет назад Homo sapiens был одним из как минимум шести видов человека, живших на этой планете, - ничем не примечательным животным, которое играло в экосистеме роль не большую, чем гориллы, светлячки или медузы. Но около семидесяти тысяч лет назад загадочное изменение когнитивных способностей Homo sapiens превратило его в хозяина планеты и кошмар экосистемы. Как человек разумный сумел покорить мирЧто стало с другими видами человекаКогда и почему появились деньги, государства и религияКак возникали и рушились империиПочему почти все общества ставили женщин ниже мужчинКак наука и капитализм стали господствующими вероучениями современной эрыСтановились ли люди с течением времени счастливееКакое будущее нас ожидает"-- Provided by publisher
