How to treat the emergence of human civilization

The history of human civilization began with the invention of characters, and the earliest time was only seven or eight thousand years, accounting for only 1% of human history. The development of human culture, from the perspective of human geography research, can have the following three kinds of * * * knowledge. First, the development of human culture is not sudden, but human beings have learned a lot of experience in the competition for survival and gradually accumulated and passed down.

In other words, many cultures in the historical era originated from human activities in prehistoric times. For example, China has a history of 5,000 years. But we know that in prehistoric times in China, there were many different nationalities, such as Beijingers and Lantian people, who lived about 400,000 to 500,000 years ago. China's history and culture are closely related to prehistoric human activities. Second, various human cultures advance and retreat in different ways due to the changes of environment and times.

There were many powerful countries in prehistoric times, and these countries have perished. In the history of mankind, no nation has dominated one side. Anthropologists realize that human body, intelligence and morality are basically the same. If there is an ideal environment, any nation can move forward step by step and create a noble culture. Third, human beings have the cooperative power to forge ahead, but they also have the despicable nature of killing each other. According to anthropologists' research, except ants and mice, all living things don't kill each other, while human beings are cruel, killing between individuals is not enough, they will fight with their relatives, and even establish an offensive and defensive alliance between nations, leading to a large-scale war.

Human cultures should support each other and make progress through cooperation. Why do they kill each other? A scholar once analyzed that human beings are weak animals. They need the protection of their parents since childhood, and they have no self-defense ability when they grow up. They are weak, their nails are not hard, and their teeth are limited by small mouths. They can't climb trees or fly. However, they know from experience that unity is strength, and only in groups can there be hope of survival. This is why human beings have warm loyalty to their families, towns and countries.

However, group defense is not safe, and it is more necessary to use brains to make weapons. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate the ability to kill people cruelly. With the weapon of killing, individuals can boldly rob and kill people, and groups can run wild all over the world. With the evolution of human history, physical strength is getting weaker and weaker, while killing weapons are getting more and more fierce, and people are weak and profitable, which is mutually causal. Moreover, the differences in race, language and religion, as well as the development of nationalism and means of transportation, have made human wars more and more cruel.

However, people of insight and enlightened people all believe that only by peaceful coexistence and mutual cooperation can mankind have a bright future.
