A Brief Introduction to Yuanmou People:

Yuanmou People, because of the discovery of the location in the northwest of the village of Yuanmou, Yunnan Yuanmou County, on the hillocks of the village of Na Beng, named "Yuanmou erect man The word "yuan mou" comes from the Dai language, meaning "steed".

The fossilized teeth of the Yuanmou Man were found in the village of Shangna Beng in Yuanmou County, Yunnan Province, on May 1, 1965, and Yuanmou County was known as the "hometown of the Yuanmou Man".

In 1976, according to the paleomagnetism method, the age of life is about 1.7 million years ago, the difference is not more than 100,000 years before and after (some scholars believe that its age should not be more than 730,000 years ago, that is, it may be 600,000 to 500,000 years ago or a little later).

Beijing Man:

Beijing Man lived in Zhoukoudian in ancient Beijing, and belonged to Homo erectus, which could use natural fire and make tools, and for the first time, human beings gained the ability to dominate a kind of natural force.

In 1929, in a cave in Zhoukoudian, Beijing, Chinese archaeologists discovered a complete fossilized skull of an ancient human being, the world-famous Peking Man.

They lived about 700,000 to 200,000 years ago and retained some of the characteristics of apes, but with a clear division of labor between hands and feet, the ability to make and use tools, and the use of natural fire.

The forests were dense, overgrown with weeds and infested with fierce animals. The Pekingese hammered stones into rough stone tools, chopped tree branches into sticks, and struggled hard with nature with very primitive tools.

Three, caveman Introduction:

Shan Dingdong man, the late Paleolithic human fossils in North China. It belongs to the late Homo sapiens. Because found in Beijing zhoukoudian long bone mountain Beijing people site on the top of the hilltop cave and named. 1930 found, 1933 ~ 1934 China geological survey of the neozoic research office by pei wenzhong presided over the excavation.

Along with human fossils, stone tools, bone and horn tools and perforated ornaments were unearthed, and the earliest known burials in China were found. The geologic age is late Late Pleistocene, and according to radiocarbon dating, the age is similar to the scenario in the territory and in the local area.

There are dense forests on the mountains and vast grasslands below. Tigers, cave bears, wolves, seemingly maned cheetahs, beavers and cows, sheep and other survival in its midst. Peak caveman to fishing and hunting and Beijing spotted deer individual bones, should be the main object of their hunting.

In the site also found grass carp, carp family of large thoracic and caudal vertebrae fossils, indicating that the Shandingdong people have been able to catch aquatic animals, the scope of productive activities to the waters, which marks the improvement of the ability of mankind to understand and utilize the natural world.
