文化节制下的协同进化:农业起源的驱动力探析

The Coevolution under Cultural Control:the Driving Force Analysis of the Origin of Agriculture

近年来,国内外学者关于农业起源的解读主要从环境要素、社会文化和人类认知三个维度展开,视角有别且所论各有申张,难以形成共识。从民族学和历史学相结合的视角切入,通过对农业起源的区域性、多元性和系统性进行分析,不难发现农业起源实质上是文化节制下人与自然协同进化的结果。人类仰赖文化形成的合力,为作物创造适宜的文化生态,进而促进农业革命的实现。因而,若要从根本上讨论农业起源的驱动力问题,不能不重视人类社会的主观能动性和文化生态的重要价值。

In recent years, the research of the origin of agriculture has mainly three dimensions, including environmental factors, social culture and human cognition. The research perspectives are different and the consensus is difficult to achieve.From the perspective of the combination of ethnology and history, it is not difficult to find that the origin of agriculture is essentially the result of the co-evolution of human and nature under cultural control, through the analysis of the regional, diversified and systematic of the origin of agriculture. Depending on the resultant force of culture, human create appropriate cultural ecology for crops,thus promote the realization of agricultural revolution.Therefore, to fundamentally discuss the driving force of the origin of agriculture, the subjective initiative of human society and the important value of cultural ecology should be taken into the value.
