交通运输与信息能力是人类在进化与发展的不同阶段，在相应时空尺度及约束条件下改善自身物信关系与结构，在距离可及性上实现趋利避害的基础性功能。人类是大自然的产物，人类目前已高度发达的交通与信息能力，其实只是在生命进化早期形成实体移动和信息处理可及性本能基础之上的扩展。早期人类位移与交往的进步主要属于生物进化的范畴，但两足行走和超强的信息能力使其在所有生物中脱颖而出；文字和认知经验在农牧社会中发挥的作用得到极大攀升，人类越来越多驯化畜力、改善车船并兴建基础设施；而工业革命以来的交通与信息能力则更多依赖于矿石能源、科技与组织水平的提升。极大受益于科技革命的交通通讯进步，不能违反人类在生物进化阶段所形成的相关基础性本能。同时，我们仍需敬畏所有已经了解以及尚待认知的自然规律，并在面临又一次重大阶段性转换的关键时刻避免因无知而犯错误。基于进化视角的人类通史特别是文明“史前史”研究提供了一种新视界。

Transportation and information capabilities are the basic functions for human beings to improve their physical-information relations and structures under the corresponding spatial and temporal scale and constraints， and achieve benefits and avoid harm in terms of distance accessibility in different stages of evolution and development. Human beings are products of nature. The highly developed transportation and information capabilities of human beings are in fact only an extension of the physical movement and information processing accessibility instincts formed in the early life evolution. The progress of human transport displacement and communication in the early stage mainly come under the category of biological evolution， but bipedal walking and superb information capabilities enable them to stand out among all creatures； with the role of writing and cognitive experience greatly strengthened in agrarian and pastoral societies， humans increasingly domesticated animal power， improved the functions of vehicles and ships， and built infrastructure； while transport and information capabilities since the Industrial Revolution have relied more on fossil energy， science and technology， and organization level. The advances in transportation and communication， which have benefited greatly from the technological revolution， should not go against the basic instincts that humans have developed during the biological evolutionary stage， meanwhile， we still need to respect all the laws of nature that are known and yet to be known， and avoid mistakes because of ignorance at this critical moment when we are facing another major phase transition. The study of human history， especially the “prehistoric history” of civilization， from the perspective of evolution， provides a new perspective.
