本课探讨宗教如何塑造人类文明的黎明。从哥贝克力石阵、耶利哥到加泰土丘，宗教冲动被认为是推动农业革命的核心力量。课程通过三万至四万年前的冰河时代洞穴壁画，揭示宗教信仰的深远起源——探讨壁画的绘制技法、创作动机，以及这些图像所承载的精神意义。宗教不仅是人类的文化产物，更是使我们成为「人」的根本特质。
This lecture explores how religion shaped the dawn of human civilization. Building on sites like Göbekli Tepe, Jericho, and Çatalhöyük, the argument is that humanity's religious impulse drove the transition to agriculture. Through Ice Age cave paintings dating back 30,000–40,000 years, the lecture examines how they were made, why ancient peoples ventured into dark and difficult caves to create them, and what these images represent spiritually. Religion, the lecture argues, is not merely a cultural product — it is what makes us fundamentally human.
