如何开启一个与众不同的新学期?不如来听听Talhelm博士的稻米理论吧!

稻米理论:中国水稻的灌溉与劳动力需求使种植水稻的南方地区相较种植小麦的北方而言,更容易形成相互依赖的文化体系。

来自芝加哥大学的Talhelm博士在此次讲座中,除了对稻米理论做更系统的讲解之外,还将提出一些新发现:


  1. Can rice culture 

take hold in an 

isolated rice village surrounded by wheat 

farmers and herders?

2. What happens when 

people move from 

rice to wheat areas?
