论文摘要

久坐主义是人类历史上的决定性时刻。凯(Kay)和卡普兰(Kaplan)在一篇评论文章中,将土地用途量化为早期人类定居点,发现久坐主义和农业的出现齐头并进。对于这些定居点,可以确定两个主要土地使用类别,即农业和生活,而对于猎人收集者社会,没有明显的差异。在两个不同的群体,定居者和农民的行为中搜索这一点是很自然的。两个不同的区域和两个群体的发展使我们提出了一个假设,即定居点的出现是扩散驱动的图灵不稳定性的结果。在这种简短的沟通中,我们进一步指定了这一点,并表明这会导致定期的和解安排,如今仍可以在农业地区看到。

Sedentism was a decisive moment in the history of humankind. In a review article Kay and Kaplan quantified land use for early human settlements and found that sedentism and the emergence of farming go hand in hand. For these settlements two primary land use categories, farming and living, can be identified, whereas for hunter gatherer societies no distinct differences can be made. It is natural to search for this in the behavior of two different groups, settlers and farmers. The development of two distinct zones and the two groups lead us to the hypothesis that the emergence of settlements is the result of diffusion-driven Turing instability. In this short communication we further specify this and show that this results in a regular settlement arrangement as can still be seen today in agricultural regions.
