我敢肯定你看到这个题目第一感觉是:“这是什么鬼,这两个概念和battle有什么联系?”其实今天我们要探讨的问题是农耕文明是如何打败狩猎文明的,是什么让人类最终选择了农耕来作为我们的生活方式? 说起这两个概念,拿我本人来说吧,我首先想到的就是在历史书上经常会出现类似...

Why did humans abandon hunting and gathering for sedentary communities dependent on livestock and cereal grains, and governed by precursors of today’s states? Most people believe that plant and animal domestication allowed humans, finally, to settle down and form agricultural villages, towns, and states, which made possible civilization, law, public order, and a presumably secure way of living. But archaeological and historical evidence challenges this narrative. The first agrarian states, says James C. Scott, were born of accumulations of domestications: first fire, then plants, livestock, subjects of the state, captives, and finally women in the patriarchal family—all of which can be viewed as a way of gaining control over reproduction.
Scott explores why we avoided sedentism and plow agriculture, the advantages of mobile subsistence, the unforeseeable disease epidemics arising from crowding plants, animals, and grain, and why all early states are based on millets and cereal grains and unfree labor. He also discusses the “barbarians” who long evaded state control, as a way of understanding continuing tension between states and nonsubject peoples.
“for a state to be reliant on a staple that could easily be taxed - and grain was the ideal” 所以在某些不种谷物的高地(例如中国西南和东南亚高地)“政教不及,人迹罕到”
评分有些推理想当然。指出农业文明种种问题,却无法证明游猎整体上优于农业,一叶障目不见泰山,归根结底是白左思想作祟。
评分每一个采集狩猎者都需要积累对自然界各种变化的知识,而农民只需要了解四时变化以便于播种收割,所需要的只是要少很多。
