摘要
为弥补人类起源的基因地理学假说"走出非洲"说的理论缺环,本文提出"幻想引领人类"作为补充命题。在学术史上被贬低和忽略最多的人类幻想能力,以及基于此的神话天文观念,引导人类走出非洲,并一路向东和向北万里迁徙,最终遍布世界五大洲。幻想还引领着人类精神的进路,从前现代的神话信仰到现代以来的科学崇拜。科幻将科技与幻想结合为一体,无非是人类这种古老的精神能力在当代科技社会中的变相遗留。从文化寻根视角看,萨满幻象具有人类幻想资源宝库的原生态示范意义,充分体现着幻想的两大文化功能:引领与治疗。
To compensate for the theoretical gaps in the hypothesis of human origin of"going out of Africa",this paper proposes"imagination leading humans"as a supplementary proposition,showing that it is the human imagination which has been degraded and neglected most in academic history,on which mythological and astronomical concepts are based,that leads human beings to go out of Africa,and migrate all the way east and north for thousands of miles,and eventually spread across the five continents of the world.Imagination also leads the way of human spirit to move forward,from pre-modern mythological beliefs to modern scientific worship.Science fiction eventually integrates technology with imagination,which is nothing more than a disguised legacy of this ancient spiritual ability of mankind in the contemporary technological society.Judging from the perspective of cultural roots,the Shamanic illusion has the original ecological demonstration significance of the treasure house of human imagination resources,which fully embodies the two major cultural functions of:imagination guidance and healing.
