If you'd like a slightly more detailed, but still-manageable version of this, I strongly recommend David Christian's Big History. It's the story of history, from the Big Bang to the present.

He goes in depth on why he recommends them on the gatesnotes website.
Not offhand, though Nick Lane's books come highly recommended and are on my own rather expansive reading pile.... David Christian's "Big History" looks at the past through large frame, and includes the concepts of which I'm discussing. Otherwise, I've pieced together my understanding from many sourcesl
…Christian's history for my own uses, I know little about the quality of his work besides his endorsement by Gates (who is very smart but not an expert in these fields). Before I spend a lot of time on Big History, does anyone know: 1) What is David Christian's professional reputation among his peers? 2) What do professional historians see as the strengths and weaknesses of Big History? 3) Does he really know…

…because it's complex. Modern human society on Earth is the most complex thing in the history of the known universe. Complex things, though, tend to be very fragile. (paraphrased from David Christian's "Big History" Great Courses lecture)

如果你想看一个稍微详细一点、但读起来又不至于不堪重负的版本，我强烈推荐大卫·克里斯蒂安的《大历史》（Big History）。讲述了从大爆炸至今的历史故事。维基百科概览：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_History 书籍（众多之一）：https://www.worldcat.org/title/origin-story-a-big-history-of...…

手头一时没有，不过尼克·莱恩（Nick Lane）的书评价极高，也在我自己那一长串阅读清单里……大卫·克里斯蒂安的《大历史》（Big History）从宏大的框架审视过去，涵盖了我正在讨论的这些概念。除此之外，我的认知都是从很多来源拼凑出来的。

……克里斯蒂安的历史书供自己参考，除了盖茨的背书（盖茨非常聪明，但不是这些领域的专家）之外，我对他的研究水准知之甚少。在投入大量时间看《大历史》之前，有人知道吗：1) 大卫·克里斯蒂安在同行中的学术声誉如何？2) 专业历史学家认为《大历史》的优缺点分别是什么？3) 他真的懂……
