致谢
我希望感谢几位研究世界历史的同事为本书初稿提出的建议和批评意见。他们包括《宝库山世界历史百科全书》的编辑威廉·麦克尼尔、杰里·本特利、卡伦·克里斯滕森（Karen Christensen）、大卫·利维森（David Levinson）、约翰·麦克尼尔、海蒂·露普（Heidi Roupp）和朱迪斯·金泽（Judith Zinsser）。我尤其感谢威廉·麦克尼尔，他几十年来一直坚持以学者的严谨和作家的权威从事宏观历史写作。我还要感谢罗斯·唐恩（Ross Dunn）、特里·伯克以及“你我的世界历史”团队全体成员，尽管我们对于WHFUA网站的讨论激烈、复杂、困难，但它们都十分有趣、新颖。这些讨论帮助我厘清了人类历史大体形态。我还要感谢妻子恰迪（Chardi）对本书及我的整个研究生涯的一贯支持。最后，作者还要对宝库山出版集团的各位同仁表示感谢，感谢他们在《极简人类史》的几次印刷中对本书的指导和监督。
