近来,古生物学名词“活化石”在悄悄时髦。诸如《地理知识》1990年第8期上的《满族语言的活化石——锡伯语》;第345期《南方周末》上的《南音——华夏乐坛的“活化石”》;1990年10月5日《北京晚报》上的《戏剧活化石——四川傩戏》;第10471号《新民晚报》上的《母系氏族的活化石》等。什么叫活化石?《辞海》称:活化石有广狭两义:广义的,凡地质历史上所发生的,至现代还生存着的动物或植物,都可叫活化石。狭义的活化石与现代孑遗生物的意义相近。
Recently, the palaeontology term “living fossils” is quietly fashionable. Such as “Living Fossils of the Manchu Language - Xibe” on the “Geographical Knowledge”, Issue 8, 1990; “Nanyin - Living Fossils of the Hua Xia Music”, Southern Weekend, No. 345; October 5, 1990 << Beijing Evening News >> on the << living fossils - Sichuan Nuo play >> << Xinmin Evening News >> No. 10471 ’maternal fossils of living fossils’ and so on. What is living fossil? “Cihai” said: living fossils are broad and narrow: broad sense, where the geological history occurred, to modern life of animals or plants, can be called living fossils. Narrow living fossils and modern relics of similar significance.
