Primitive Humans and Tribes
China, a country with the highest number of primitive human sites in the world, has not only preserved the most abundant materials related to the origin of human beings, but also has had a fairly complete evolutionary process without serious interruptions.
In the early Paleolithic Period (about 250,000 to 2 million years ago), China’s ancient ancestors were scattered over a vast area that covers today’s Yunnan, Sichuan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Guizhou, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, and Beijing. Several hundred sites of the late Paleolithic Period, dating to about 10,000 to 40,000 years ago, have been found across China.
The progression from Yuanmou Man to Peking Man and then to Upper Cave Man outlines the evolution of early humans in China. Yuanmou Man dates to 1.7 million years ago, and was named aft er Yuanmou, Yunnan, where their fossils, two teeth and some handmade stone instruments, were unearthed. Coal dust and burned bones were found in clay layers. Yuanmou Man fossils are believed to be the earliest human remains in the Chinese territory.
原始人类和部落
中国是世界上原始人类遗址数量最多的国家，不仅保存了与人类起源相关的最丰富的物质，而且进化过程相当完整，没有受到严重干扰。在旧石器时代早期（约25万至200万年前），中国的古代祖先分散在广阔的地区，涵盖今天的云南，四川，山西，陕西，河南，河北，江苏，安徽，湖北，贵州，内蒙古，辽宁和北京。中国各地发现了数百个旧石器时代晚期的遗址，可追溯到大约10，000至40，000年前。从元渊人到北京人，再到上洞人，这一过程勾勒出中国早期人类的进化过程。圆头人的历史可以追溯到170万年前，被命名为云南元锱，在那里出土了他们的化石，两颗牙齿和一些手工制作的石器。在粘土层中发现了煤尘和燃烧的骨头。圆头人化石被认为是中国领土上最早的人类遗骸。
