Sapiens

《Sapiens》（中文譯為《人類大歷史：從野獸到扮演上帝》）是以色列歷史學家尤瓦爾·哈拉瑞（Yuval Noah Harari）所著的一本暢銷書，首次出版於2011年。此書以跨學科的視角，從生物學、人類學、考古學及經濟學等角度，全面介紹了人類從約10萬年前智人（Homo sapiens）的出現，到現代社會形成的演化與發展歷程。書中將人類歷史劃分為四個重要階段：1. 認知革命（約7萬年前）：智人開始具備想像力與複雜語言，能夠創造並相信虛構的概念，如宗教、國家、法律和貨幣，這使得大規模合作成為可能。2. 農業革命（約1萬年前）：人類從狩獵採集者轉變為農耕社會，定居生活帶來人口激增與社會結構複雜化。3. 人類的融合與統一：政治、經濟及文化逐步融合，形成跨地域的帝國與全球化趨勢。4. 科學革命（約500年前至今）：現代科學與技術迅猛發展，徹底改變人類社會與環境。哈拉瑞在書中探討智人成為地球主宰的原因，分析歷史上政治、經濟、宗教等文化現象的起源和影響，並思考科技進步對未來人類可能帶來的變革與挑戰。他質疑人類的「智慧」與幸福感，探討我們究竟如何定義「人性」與自由，以及未來的發展方向。這本書以深入淺出的語言、大膽的觀點和豐富的史實引發廣泛討論，既是對人類過去的總結，也是對未來的省思，深受全球讀者歡迎。What makes us brilliant?
