Book review of the story of civilization 1: when I borrowed it from the CUHK library and started reading it, I found the first volume:
1. Speaking of human marriage, these pages, including marriage form, organization form, status and relationship between men and women, organization and expression of lust, are the dirtiest pages in the book: there are many water stains, sweat stains and stains on them. Lots of brown spots. How interesting! Different marriage organizational relationships are the embodiment of human creativity, and also reflect the repression and desire of modern people's inner roots.
2. See if everyone dares to say that they are foodies.
"Persian nobles, put food first. Because their ancestors only ate one meal a day, they dared not eat two meals. However, at this time, although they only ate one meal, the meal lasted from noon to evening. ..... In the last days of Persia, food often changed with each passing day, because the whole country was learning and everything was delicious. "
Don't just beat around in the field, otherwise it may be misunderstood by later historians.
"In Java, farmers and their wives mate in the fields to ensure that their rice fields are fertile. Because primitive people didn't know that the fertility of the land was due to nitrogen. In fact, they don't know the sex of plants, so they always think that their fertility is the same as that of women. The progress of our current knowledge has obliterated their poetic beliefs. "
