賈德戴蒙，一位橫跨生理學、鳥類學、地理學、歷史學的跨界天才。他用一個問題改變了世界對人類文明的理解：為什麼是歐洲人征服了美洲，而不是相反？從波士頓的猶太移民家庭，到哈佛劍橋的學術殿堂，從新幾內亞的熱帶雨林，到普立茲獎的榮耀巔峰。戴蒙用四十年的田野調查，寫出了震撼世界的《槍炮、病菌與鋼鐵》，顛覆了種族優越論，揭示了地理環境對人類命運的深刻影響。他獲得麥克阿瑟天才獎、國家科學獎章，兩度榮獲英國皇家學會科學圖書獎，被譽為我們這個時代的達爾文。從《大崩壞》到《昨日世界》，從文明興衰到危機應對，戴蒙的思想為我們理解過去、把握現在、創造未來提供了全新視角。本集深度解析這位傳奇學者的人生軌跡、學術貢獻與思想價值。
Jared Diamond, a genius spanning physiology, ornithology, geography, and history. He transformed our understanding of human civilization with one question: Why did Europeans conquer the Americas instead of vice versa? From a Jewish immigrant family in Boston to the academic halls of Harvard and Cambridge, from the tropical rainforests of New Guinea to the glory of the Pulitzer Prize. Diamond spent forty years in field research to write the world-shaking Guns, Germs, and Steel, overturning racial superiority theories and revealing how geography profoundly shapes human destiny. He received the MacArthur Genius Grant, the National Medal of Science, and twice won the Royal Society Science Book Prize, being hailed as the Darwin of our time. From Collapse to The World Until Yesterday, from civilizational rise and fall to crisis response, Diamond's thoughts provide new perspectives for understanding the past, grasping the present, and creating the future. This episode deeply analyzes this legendary scholar's life trajectory, academic contributions, and intellectual value.
