摘要
人类生命的延续问题,在当代生命科学和文化人类学中已得到较为切实的解答。人类生命的延续沿着生物遗传和文化遗传两条途径进行。人类的个体有生有死,在这个意义上人类的个体不能永生。但是,人类的个体通过生物遗传的方式把自己的生理特性遗传给下一代,又通过教育和学习的方式把文化的信息代代相传。文化遗传是人类特有的,人类永生的意义应该在文化遗传中去寻找。
The question with regard to the endurance of human life has been realistically answered by contemporary studies in life science and cultural anthropology. Human life endures by following the tracks of biological and cultural inheritance. As individuals, human live and die and cannot endure the time in this sense. On the other hand, human individuals, by means of biological inheritance, hand their physical characteristics, and by means of education and learning, their cultural information, down to their later generations. Since cultural inheritance is distinctive only of human beings, the significance of perminent life can be sought in human cultural inheritance.
