一般来说,我们谈及原始艺术时,几乎只能将遗留至今的原始实物作为评判的对象,那么究竟是什么原因促使原始人类制造了这些实物呢?答案是为了生存的需要。这样说不仅是因为早期的人造工具确实大幅度地提高了生产的效率,而且早期工具不止是用于生产方面,还可能有着其他方面的功能,这说明原始人业已具备了复杂的思维活动能力。我们知道,所有生物都有一种通过遗传工程完成的生存本能,即根据环境来重新 Generally speaking, when we talk about the primitive art, we can only use the primitive objects left over to date as objects of judgment. So what exactly prompted the primitive humans to create these objects? The answer is for the sake of survival. This is not only because early man-made tools did substantially improve the efficiency of production, but also that early tools were used not only for production but also for other functions, indicating that primitive people already possess complex thinking activities. We know that all living things have a living instinct that is done through genetic engineering, that is,
