中信经典历史之世界史篇（共6册）
(u. S.) David Christian Morris William Mcneil
"A Minimalist History of Humanity" is a brief history of mankind with a grand vision and clear context. It tells the development trajectory of modern Homo sapiens over the past 100,000 years. Taking the Big Bang as the starting point and the magnificent background of 13.8 Billion years of cosmic evolution, it overlooks the entire process of human history from scratch and constructs a road map of human history. From the Big Bang, the evolution of galaxies, and the evolution of life, we talk about the birth of early society, the emergence of agricultural civilization, and the crisis of modern society and civilization. The book has a total of 4 chapters, and in less than 100,000 words, it clearly outlines the development framework of each stage: Chapter 1, "Prequel: Before the Beginning", tells how human beings were born during the evolution of the universe, and how modern Homo sapiens emerged; Chapter 2, "The Beginning: The Era of Gathering and Hunting", tells how modern Homo sapiens emerged from the biosphere and established human society; Chapter 3, "Acceleration: The Age of Agriculture", tells the spread of agricultural civilization and how dispersed communities established similar lifestyles; Chapter 4, "Our World: Modern Times", tells the birth of more advanced industrial civilization and how it has pushed us to the brink of civilizational crises time and time again. Through these four chapters, "A Minimalist History of Humanity" presents us with a magnificent historical picture, helping us see clearly at a glance where human history comes from and the inherent laws of the evolution of human history. This book looks at human history on a large scale. What it sees is not "one boring fact after another", but a common story of mankind that is rich in logic and interactive connections. \
