THIS BOOK ATTEMPTS TO PROVIDE A SHORT HISTORY OF
everybody for the last 13,000 years. The question motivating the
book is: Why did history unfold differently on different continents? In case
this question immediately makes you shudder at the thought that you are
about to read a racist treatise, you aren’t: as you will see, the answers
to the question don’t involve human racial differences at all. The book’s
emphasis is on the search for ultimate explanations, and on pushing back
the chain of historical causation as far as possible.

Most books that set out to recount world history concentrate on histories
of literate Eurasian and North African societies. Native societies of
other parts of the world—sub-Saharan Africa, the Americas, Island Southeast Asia, Australia, New Guinea, the Pacific Islands—receive only brief treatment, mainly as concerns what happened to them very late in their history, after they were discovered and subjugated by western Europeans. Even within Eurasia, much more space gets devoted to the history of western Eurasia than of China, India, Japan, tropical Southeast Asia, and other eastern Eurasian societies. History before the emergence of writing around 3,000 B.C. also receives brief treatment, although it constitutes 99.9% of the five-million-year history of the human species.

本书试图为大家提供过去13000年的简史。促使这本书的问题是：为什么历史在不同的大陆上有不同的发展？为什么历史会在不同的大陆上以不同的方式展开？如果这个问题立刻让你不寒而栗，以为自己即将读到的是一本种族主义的论著，其实不然：你会发现，这个问题的答案根本不涉及人类的种族差异。本书的重点在于寻找终极解释，并尽可能地推倒历史因果链。大多数以叙述世界历史为出发点的书，都集中在欧亚和北非文人社会的历史上。世界其他地区–撒哈拉以南的非洲、美洲、东南亚岛屿、澳大利亚、新几内亚、太平洋群岛–的土著社会只得到了简短的处理，主要是涉及到他们在被西欧人发现和征服之后，在历史上很晚才发生的事情。即使在欧亚大陆内部，对欧亚大陆西部历史的介绍也远远多于对中国、印度、日本、热带东南亚和其他欧亚大陆东部社会的介绍。公元前3000年左右文字出现之前的历史也得到了简要的论述，尽管它占了人类500万年历史的99.9%。
