Modern scientists and archaeologists have discovered a large number of fascinating human fossils, man-made tools, man-made buildings and other relics of human civilization all over the world. These civilizations remain underground, on the ground, on mountains, in caves, under the sea and even in the sky, such as human footprints 200 million years ago, nuclear reactors 2 billion years ago, the Great Pyramid of Egypt, Mayan civilization, Greek civilization, megalithic architecture, the discovery of the origin of the moon and so on. Dating them with modern scientific methods, it is found that the history of these cultural relics is very long, from tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions to billions of years. Not only that, these civilizations also have a very high level of science and technology, art and culture.

In the folk stories and fairy tales of many nationalities in the world, there are also various legends about ancient human civilization. Legends from different nationalities have striking similarities, such as descriptions of prehistoric Atlantis civilization and so on.

According to Darwin's evolutionary hypothesis, it took millions of years for human beings to evolve from apes to adults, but the genealogy has never found the middle process of these millions of years, nor can it find any evidence of the existence of people between apes; According to the usual understanding, human beings have developed from the most primitive state to the present high civilization, which is no more than 10 thousand years, and the written records are only 5 thousand years. According to Darwin's theory of evolution, it was impossible for human beings to exist hundreds of millions of years ago, let alone create a high degree of human civilization. Obviously, Darwin's theory of evolution cannot explain these ancient human civilizations at all. They are full of mystery.

Through time and space, through prehistoric civilization, into the four ancient civilizations. China is one of the countries with the earliest civilization in the world, with a written history of nearly 4,000 years. China's civilization is unmatched by any other civilization. India-As early as around 2500 BC, in today's Pakistan, civilization has been bred, and the remains of the ancient cities of Halaba and Mohan Yadaro have left many marks of this early civilization. Two Rivers Civilization Babylon is one of the oldest civilizations in human history. The ancient Greeks called the two river basins Mesopotamia, which means "the place between the two rivers". Mesopotamia was divided into two parts, Babylon in the south and Assyria in the north. Egypt-Although many archaeological sites have been excavated, our understanding of the history of ancient Egypt is still very limited. Except for a few stone tablets or papyrus documents that record the list of pharaohs, there is no complete written record, and it is a civilization full of mystery. These civilizations are immortal and dazzling stars in the long history of mankind.

Civilization is the general name of all valuable things created by human beings in the process of adapting to nature. The concept of civilization is both relative and absolute. Relative civilization means that people have different evaluation criteria for civilization in different historical periods. For example, "foot-binding" was regarded as a manifestation of civilization in ancient China, but it is regarded as an extremely uncivilized thing in modern times. Absolute civilization is the ultimate goal pursued by human beings and the final state of civilization.

Civilization can also be divided into three parts: material civilization, institutional civilization and spiritual civilization. Material civilization is all valuable material things created by human beings in the process of adapting to nature; Institutional civilization is all valuable institutional things created by human beings in the process of adapting to nature; Spiritual civilization is all valuable spiritual things created by human beings in the process of adapting to nature.

There have always been two different views on the causes of the emergence, development and evolution of human civilization: geographical environmental determinism and intellectual determinism. "Geographical environment determinism" attempts to drive mankind out of history and simply attribute the emergence, development and evolution of human civilization to the result of geographical environment shaping. On the other hand, "intellectual determinism" tries to drive the geographical environment out of history, and simply attributes the emergence, development and evolution of human civilization to the product of human intelligence or spirit, and then to the creation of genius minds and the product of talents.

Both views are one-sided. Because society and civilization are created by human beings to adapt to the natural environment. First of all, society and civilization are created by human beings and the product of human intelligence or spirit; On the other hand, human beings do not create society and civilization out of thin air, but must create it in a certain natural environment, so that human beings will be constrained by the geographical environment while creating society and civilization, and thus be shaped by the geographical environment. So society and civilization should be the result of the interaction between human beings and geographical environment.

In fact, the development of everything in the universe conforms to this law. Although the superior environment will make things living in this environment develop greatly in this environment, it will not help things to develop to a higher stage. Only the right environment between the superior and the inferior is most conducive to the development of this thing. Therefore, for those countries or nations with superior environment, we must be alert to the breeding of indulgence. Because sentimentalism is a manifestation of extreme adaptation to the environment. On the contrary, asceticism is easy to breed in harsh environment, and Indian civilization is its representative. Why is asceticism easy to breed in a worse environment? This is because in the harsh environment, the material and energy needed by society are scarce, and people can only adapt to the environment by limiting their desires.

Because the whole universe is developing from low level to high level-so the future trend of human civilization must be moving forward. The change of human itself will give human beings the motivation to evolve to a higher and wider range, and push human beings to evolve to a higher stage and expand to a wider range. The change of human itself is the internal cause of human evolution to a higher stage, and it is also the source of power for the development of human civilization.

Finally, let's look forward to the final trend of the development of the whole human civilization. Because the whole universe is developing from low level to high level, and the development of human civilization is only a part of the development of the big universe; In addition, human beings are the highest "form" in the universe that we know at present. Therefore, human beings are actually at the forefront of the development of the universe, leading the continuous development and evolution of the whole universe from low to high. Moreover, due to the continuous expansion of human living space, the final result of the development of the whole human civilization will be the same as the whole universe. Because the ultimate outcome of the development of the whole universe is that everything in the universe has developed into the most orderly state. Therefore, the ultimate outcome of the development of the whole human civilization is that human beings conquer the whole universe and make everything in the whole universe reach a most orderly and perfect state.
