In the summer of 2020, when I was at the zoo, I saw a gorilla on the other side, he behaved too much like us humans, it was boring, playing with its own hair there, not looking at us, letting us tourists laugh there, in fact, there was a little sadness in my heart.
In Yuval Harari's A Brief History of Mankind, I am deeply touched by why most of the animals today are cats, dogs, cattle and sheep, which seem to be more docile animals.
It is because our ancestors were screened from generation to generation, and most of the most aggressive species were removed, and these are what remained, and in the beginning, our human ancestors did not live in this world so advantageously.
A Brief History of Mankind is a book with a grand perspective that allows people to see the logic of evolution through the historical evolution of this large perspective, and the book has been translated into different languages by many countries, which is quite popular with readers.

Today, I am here to talk to you about the picture book version of "A Brief History of Mankind", which tells the story of our human ancestors, so that children can have a global understanding of human history.
Wonder if our children are curious about history, what our ancestors were like? There were no refrigerators and no cars, how did they live? Do you also receive couriers frequently?
Before that, I would like to add my view of history, which in my eyes is very boring, and my memory of history is only an examination.
But in today's view, history is very worthy of our study, it is worth us to do historical enlightenment for children at the right time, because history is something that really happened, and it is constantly updated and iterated to have today. Children can also see the world from a different perspective.
How to do historical enlightenment for children? A few of my comments:
1. What should I do if my child does not like to read history books? I think keeping the child's interest is the key, when you don't like it, you can put it a little bit, but when the child is small, we really need to guide, to read, and even show more curiosity than him (can let the father talk), and then go to the book together to find treasure. (Attached to the end of their own parent-child reading method)
Maybe the history picture book is not as easy to tell, so easy to read, so cute as the general storybook, because it is too far away, we really need to guide, take it out ourselves, be interested, the child will listen, our family is like this.
2. Cultivate children's curiosity. We can regularly take our children to various museums to let him feel the changes of history more closely and intuitively.
You can also ask him, in ancient times, there was no air conditioning, what if the old ancestors were hot in the summer? Do you know? I don't know, why don't you go to the book together?
3, find some good quality picture books, if the child has just begun historical enlightenment, it is recommended to be more pictures and fewer words, it does not look so tired of books. If in the process of watching, it can be combined with what we see in our lives or in museums, it will be easier to arouse children's interest.
Three
"A Brief History of Mankind" picture book version, is also a general historical picture book, from the perspective of children to tell the story of the old ancestors, from the prehistoric era to the 21st century, 7 important historical periods, respectively, show us the life scenes of different periods, this is a "brief history of mankind" belonging to children. At the same time, the book won the 2018 "Excellent Reading Book of the Year" award.
Three things I prefer:
1. The timeline is clear, the 7 important periods are prehistoric period, ancient civilization era, middle Ages, Renaissance, Enlightenment era, industrial revolution period, 20th century and 21st century.
2, the picture more words less, the typesetting is very beautiful, panoramic pictures can help us better understand the lives of contemporary people, in fact, look at the picture, you can know a lot of information, compared to the picture, the child will understand more thoroughly.
In the Middle Ages, humans began to introduce and grow tomatoes, and more and more farmland.
3, the structure of each part is very neat, the beginning is such a picture, the middle is about some things that happened in the world at that time and the lives of contemporary people, and the end is a timeline of the whole, recording the approximate events, comparing and looking, at a glance.
Like what:
(1) The time of ancient civilization compared to the time of the 20th century
In the era of ancient civilizations, humans no longer had to run around, but had a place to settle and trade.
In the 20th century, the way of life of human beings changed a lot, and there were many ships on the sea and planes in the sky.
(2) The development and creation of human beings in the era of ancient civilization are compared with the development and creation of human beings in the 20th century
At this time, there have been many breakthroughs, and deeply affect our lives,
(3) Changes in human life in the era of ancient civilization and the 20th century
The ancient Egyptians created the pyramids, and China began to build the Great Wall.
In the 20th century, there was a subway on the road, an international space station, and a wide range of GPS.
Let's talk about how to read this book:
We can start from the places where children are interested, such as our family's love of trains and space, we are from the industrial revolution and the 21st century these two parts, from the steam train to the later electric locomotive, to the current high-speed rail and the future T-FLIGHT high-speed flying train, these can be cross-talked about.
Use the chapter or timeline of the book "Use Your Brain" to arouse your child's curiosity and let him play enough; or the first picture of each chapter, that is, the green picture, compare and find a difference.
Let the child see how far into the past, he can see how far into the future.

Once into the DK as deep as the sea, since then the wallet is a passerby? Is this 7-pound children's science book worth buying?
In the face of curious children, don't be perfunctory, parents are right to do so
