When it comes to the word nation, many people will not feel unfamiliar. Because all people in the world have their own people. So the nation is closely related to everyone, and in the late nineteenth century, the rise of nationalism led to great changes in the world situation. Some countries are united because of this, and some countries are thus **. And ** with the reason for unity.
It is based on whether the region lives in the same ethnic group, if it is, it will be unified, and if it is, it will be **. It is not an exaggeration to say that the modern state was born on the basis of the concept of nation. However, while many people understand the meaning of the word nation, do they understand how the nation was born? There is no doubt that nationalism was born in the nineteenth century.
But when the form of nation came into being, I'm afraid many people will not be clear. Some people may think that what kind of nationality they are is based on their own blood. In other words, because of which ethnic group his father is, he is which ethnic group he is. The nation is a thing that is inherited and produced, so why bother to ask? I don't deny that.
But there is an interesting question, I don't know if you have thought about it. That is, if the nation is born on the basis of blood, then the nationality of your father is based on your grandfather. If you go back in this way, then the first human should be of the same race as you. But the problem is that if this inference is true, then there should be only one nation in the whole world.
Because based on blood, the descendants of the first human race should all be a nation. So it is clear that the birth of a nation is not based on blood, but for other reasons. In my opinion, I think there is a way of saying that the birth of a nation is based on fictional abilities. Why make up for it? Because of the social structure of man, before the birth of fictional ability.
Subject to the limit of the Dunbar number, the Dunbar number cannot be exceeded. The so-called Dunbar number is the maximum number of people who can remember, and this number is one hundred and fifty. If you exceed this number, you will forget who you know. That is, a person can remember up to one hundred and fifty people. Therefore, before the birth of fictional abilities, the size of human tribes was one hundred and fifty at most.
But after the birth of fictional ability, human beings broke through the limit of Dunbar's number. How do you break through the limits? That is to create a common goal, which can be a common belief in a god or a common people. This statement explains the reason why religions and nations were born, so why are all people in the world not the same people?
In fact, the reason is very simple, because everyone in the world does not live in the same area. If the regions are different, each region will form its own nation. If they are unwilling to form a nation, they will be constrained by the number of tribes and will be at a disadvantage in competition with other tribes that form a nation. That is, the birth of the nation was an accident.
But when the first nation is born, based on the advantages brought by the nation, all those who have not been born of the nation need to be born of the nation in order to counter the advantages of other nations brought by the birth of the nation. Therefore, as long as one nation is born, the nation will be born throughout the world. What do netizens think about this?
