人类诸多特征之一是使用,特别是制造工具。这关键性的一步始于南猿阶段,罗斯尼(J.H.Rosny)所形容的这种“直立行走的动物”对采集有利刃的自然砾块作为刀子锤子已不满足,要根据自己的需要来加工石料。这类工具在过去的两百万年中越来越多,越来越多样化、复杂化。我们已经从砾石砍斫器发展到了电子计算机,发展到了远程航天火箭。一件工具可以有用途和形制两种表示方法,而这两方面是相互关联的。我们要知道如何来区分有 One of the many features of humanity is the use, in particular the manufacture of tools. This crucial step started with the stage of the Southern Ape, and the “upright-walking animal” described by JH Rose as a knife hammer was not satisfied with collecting razor-sharp natural gravel and was machined according to his own needs Stone. Such tools have been more and more diverse and complicated over the past two million years. We have evolved from a gravel cutter to a computer to a long-range space rocket. A tool can have both purpose and shape representation, and the two are interrelated. We have to know how to distinguish between them
