气候变迁与长江流域古文化的奠基

在漫长的地质时代,地球气候变迁是以温暖时期与寒冷时期交替出现、冰期与间冰期多次旋回为其基本特点．认为气候的冷暖交替、巨大变迁直接影响着生物世界的演变和人类及其文化发展,揭示长江流域在这种气候多变而严酷的时期,却闪烁着“人类起源的光芒”,形成了一条神秘的“人类演化时光隧道”．论述了全新世是一个干载难逢的气候适宜期,人类迈人了一个崭新的发展时代,长江流域的社会经济得到了大发展,古文化得以蓬勃兴起,产生了丰富多彩、灿烂辉煌的史前文化,其中尤以稻作文化最为突出．

Climate change of geology ages and the foundation of ancient culture in the Yangtze Basin
