教学目标 Course Objectives
有关历史的科学研究旨在为人类起源的基本问题寻求答案:人类出现于多久以前?何时进化?又如何进化?我们如何解释
人类之间显著的生物差异和文化多样性?早期人类是如何在这个世界上定居的?又是如何创造出这么多不同而又复杂程度
各异的社会的?为什么有些社会仍旧过着狩猎和采集生活,而另一些社会已经开始耕种作物和驯养牲口?为什么当非洲南
部的桑族(San觅食者和北美大盆地Great Basin)的肖肖尼族人(Shoshone还以小家庭的形式聚集生存时,古埃
及人和墨西哥的阿兹特克人已发展出了高度复杂的文明?更复杂的人类社会是何时演变而来的?本课程将围绕这些问题讲
述波澜壮阔的人类史前画卷,展示世界上主要的古文明如埃及、美索不达米亚、中国、印度、中美洲等丰富多彩的演变历
程,让我们更好地理解人类文化多样性。
Scientific research on history aims to find answers to the basic question of the origin of mankind: how long ago did
mankind appear? When and how did it evolve? How do we explain the remarkable biological differences and cultural
diversity among humans? How did early humans settle in this world? How did so many different and complex societies
be created? Why do some societies still lead a hunting and gathering life, while others have begun to cultivate crops
and domesticate animals? Why when the San foragers in southern Africa and the Shoshone in the Great Basin of North
America still gathered in small families, the ancient Egyptians and the Aztecs in Mexico Has developed a highly
complex civilization? When did the more complex human society evolve? This course will tell the magnificent picture of
human prehistory around these issues, show the colorful evolution of the world’s major ancient civilizations such as
Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, India, and Mesoamerica, so that we can better understand human Cultural diversity.
