Nicholas Wade 撰写的文章是让《纽约时报》科学版在全美范围内大受欢迎的主要原因。在他具有开创性的著作 Before the Dawn 中，Wade 以史无前例的方式揭示了人类的起源——这一探索直到近期才借助遗传科学得以实现，其不可思议的发现回答了如下问题：最早的人类语言是什么样的？最早的社会规模有多大，好战程度如何？我们的祖先何时首次走出非洲，又是沿何种路线离开的？通过雄辩地解开这些及众多其他谜团，Wade 奉献了一部不折不扣的

……冲突，这本书更关注普通社会中通往战争的心理酝酿过程，以及战争对社会的影响）这些书让我对人性感到非常悲观，但 Nicholas Wade 的《Before the Dawn: Recovering the Lost History of Our Ancestors》提供了一剂不错的解药：20世纪因战争死亡的总人数，如果我们遵循和史前祖先类似的模式……
…conflicts, this is much more interested in the psychological build up to war in common society, and its effects on society) These books make me very pessimistic about human nature, but Nicholas Wade's Before the Dawn: Recovering the Lost History of Our Ancestors provides a nice antidote: the total number of people killed by warfare in the 20th Century, if we followed similar patterns to our prehistoric ancestors,…

……而且不太可能被“重置”。智人起源的确切年代——如果真能确定的话——目前仍处于变化之中。这就是科学过程——科学作为一种纠错机制。Nicholas Wade 写的《Before the Dawn》是一本很棒的书，回顾了大约10万年前到1万年前关于我们物种的最新科学研究。它提供了你在《纽约时报》文章里看不到的宏观视角和背景脉络……
…and will not likely be 'reset'. The precise dating of the origin of homo sapiens - if that is even possible - is still in flux. This is the scientific process - science as error correction mechanism. Before the Dawn by Nicholas Wade is a great book reviewing the recent science on our species from about 100k year ago to about 10k years ago. It provides the overview and context that you dont get from a NYT article…
据我所知（AFAIK），探讨这个问题的最好（也是第一本？）科普书是 Nicholas Wade 的《Before the Dawn》[1]。[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Before_the_Dawn_(book)
AFAIK, the best (first?) popular science book that tackles this question is Before the Dawn [1] by Nicholas Wade. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Before_the_Dawn_(book)
读完有段时间了，但我记得 Nicholas Wade 的《Before the Dawn》看着挺过瘾的。
It's been a while since I read it, but I remember enjoying Before the Dawn by Nicholas Wade.
……书呆子。如果你想了解社会学有多重要，以及它能被多么清晰地推导论证，去读 Eric Hoffer。如果你想了解弄懂我们是如何演化而来的有多重要，去读《Before the Dawn》。另外，我喜欢把社会学看作对复杂系统的研究——极其复杂的系统。要研究那些你无法完全进行实验控制的系统是很难的，然而它……
…nerd. If you want to understand how important sociology is, and how clearly it can be reasoned about, read Eric Hoffer. If you want to understand how important it is to understand how we evolved, read "Before the Dawn." Also, I like to look at sociology as the study of complex systems - extremely complex systems. It is difficult to study systems over which you do not have complete experimental control, however it…
