利里， 心理学教授、主席，威克森林大学 【内容简介】 人类心智受到自然和文化两种环境的影响，这是一个被广泛接受的观点。但人们一般都认为，文化是在人类的生产力发展到一定水平的基础之上，才产生和发展出来的。 但本书颠覆了这个一般性的预设。它假定，文化其实先于人类而存在。因为文化在某些动物活动之中，已经向大自然显示出自己所具有的优势，即较之个体的聪明和群体的力量，文化是一种更有利于物种的生殖与繁衍的存在方式。因此，大自然便在各个物种之中进行选择，让那些已经在生物学意义上为文化准备好的物种，为利用和享用文化而进化和演进。 这个物种便是在漫长的演进过程中充分利用了文化的优势，从而进化为超越其他动物而独步自然环境的人类。也就是说，文化不是人类进化的结果，而是人类进化的目的。是大自然选择了人类这个物种去进入和适应文化，以帮助生物物种更好地达成生存与繁衍之最终目标。当然，在更广泛的意义上，文化反过来也改造了自然。
