Historico-Ecological Studies of Afro-Eurasian Inner Dry Land Civilizations and their Modern Changes from the View Point of Pastoralism

为了反思人类文明史，我们从牧民的角度对亚非大陆内陆旱地文明进行了评价，认为它是近代以前的基本和主流文明。动物是前现代人类可以利用的最重要的力量。驯养动物的价值并不局限于蛋白质资源的生产。作为一种极好的交通方式，它促进了长途贸易网络和城市文明的形成；作为战争和政治统治的交通方式，它支持了大帝国的形成。这样，一个全球文明就建立在遥远地区和人民交流交流的内陆旱地上，并可分为4种类型：1.北部草原，2.热带荒漠，3.绿洲，4.热带稀树草原。然而，这种破坏是它的现代史，因为西方的现代史是以海洋为中心的文明和化石能源的历史。

For rethinking the human civilization history, we have evaluated the Afro-Eurasian Inner dry land Civilization as its basic and main stream before the modern time from a pastoralist point of view. The animal was the pre modern most important power for men to exploit. The value of domesticated animals was not limited to the production of protein resources. As an excellent way of transport, it has contributed to the formation of long distant trade making its network and city civilization; as that of war and political domination, it supported the formation of Great Empires. Thus a global civilization was established in the inner dry land where distant regions and peoples communicate and exchange together, while 4 kinds of typology can be classified: 1. Northern prairie, 2. Tropical desert, 3. Oasis, 4. Tropical savanna. The destruction was however its modern history because Western modern history was that of ocean centered civilization and fossil energy.
