Passage One
学科分类:历史
题目:Questioning the prehistoric agricultural Revolution
内容回忆:本文共6段。*一段说新石器时期农业的兴起,促使人们之前已打猎集会为主,转而开始驯养业以及农业的转变。并且人数增加。第2段说明从小型的25人为一个群体转变成更大的community,社会的复杂性变强。 第3段进一步从不同角度去理解neolithic transition并且研究其是如何产生的。 第4段并从两方面给出证据:archaeological 和ethnographic。第5段说明由于Catal 的最近发现,由之前的hunting和gathering会逐渐转向驯养业,然后才是农业,这并不是一夜之间的事,是缓慢形成的。最后一段给出一个遗址Abu Hureyra(11500-7000BC),有150-300个community发现广阔的大草原和植物群。
