“We study history not to know the future but to widen our horizons, to understand that our present situation is neither natural nor inevitable, and that we consequently have many more possibilities before us than we can imagine.”
Not as deep as Jared Diamonds books but very bold and more entertaining
身為人類，地表上最恐怖的生物，我們越強大時常常也越失控。從生物學出發，到人類學，串聯至世界歷史，然後進入到科技的時代，作者大膽問，我們真的知道自己在幹嘛嗎？
