怀特的能量文化说在揭示文明演进机制中,不如小尺度的人工材料替换机制来的精细。材料文化说可以解释人类从石器时代到现代的文化演化机理。人工材料的演进与人类运用知识(文化符号)和能量,逐步打开物质结合能使其发生丰富人工物的种类和数量、改变人们的生活方式有关。从人工物材料演进的历史资料看,人工物经历了自然物时期、冶炼物时期、冶金物时期、高性能材料物时期的演化过程。这一演化过程反映了人类的科技进步和社会文化发展的轨迹。
White’s energy culture says that in revealing the evolutionary mechanism of civilization, it is not as sophisticated as the replacement of artificial materials by small-scale mechanisms. Material culture can explain the human evolution from the Stone Age to modern culture mechanism. The evolution of artificial materials and human use of knowledge (cultural symbols) and energy, and gradually open the material can make it rich in artificial species and quantity, changing people’s way of life. According to the historical data of the evolution of artificial materials, artifacts have undergone the evolution of natural objects, smelting objects, metallurgical objects and high-performance materials. This evolution reflects the progress of science and technology and the trajectory of social and cultural development of mankind.
