Previously, we have conducted research on primitive people, and at present, four types of primitive people have been found in China: one is Yuanmou people; the second is Lantian people; the third is Beijing people; and the fourth is the mountaintop cave people. So, how did these four types of hominids evolve? What are the differences between them?
First, the time is different
1. The Yuanmou people are 1.7 million years old.
2. The Lantian people are 800,000 years old.
3. Beijingers are 500,000 years old.
4. The cave people on the top of the mountain belong to the late Homo sapiens, and the time is ranked behind the Beijingers.
Second, the location is different
1. The Yuanmou people were found in Yuanmou County, Yunnan Province, a vast subtropical grassland and forest. First, there were remnants of the Tertiary period such as branch-horned deer and clawed hooves that survived here. Some time later, early Pleistocene animals such as the Sang's hyena, the Yunnan horse, and the Shanxi axis deer appeared in this grassland and forest. Most of them are herbivorous beasts. In order to survive, the Yuanmou people used crude stone tools to hunt them.
2. The Lantian people were discovered in Lantian County, Shaanxi Province, which proves that there were some primitive humans living in the Gongwangling area of Lantian County.
3. Beijingers were found in The Keel Mountain of Zhoukoudian, Fangshan District, southwest of Beijing. The Peking Ape Man came to Zhoukoudian about 600,000 years ago and lived here intermittently for nearly 400,000 years. By about 200,000 years ago, the Beijing apes had left this place.
4. The Cave People on the Top of the Mountain belong to the Beijingers, they are the evolved Peking people.
Third, the tools are different
1. The Yuanmou people used crude stone tools.
2, Lantian people can make stone tools, but relatively simple, thick and large, under careful observation, but also found that there are signs of different types of stone tools division of labor.
3, Beijing people have been able to make and use tools, they use tools such as bone tools, wood tools, and more or stone tools. With these rich tools, it is proved that they are fundamentally different from animals and have some human characteristics.
4. Compared with the tools used before, the labor tools of the cave people on the top of the mountain have been greatly improved in quality. They were not only able to beat stones into stone axes and stone hammers, but also grind the bones of wild beasts into bone needles, which proved that their intelligence had improved greatly.
Fourth, the use of fire is different
1, Yuanmou people basically do not use fire.
2, Lantian people basically do not use fire.
3, Beijingers have been able to artificially make fires, this is a conclusive fact.
4. The people in the cave at the top of the mountain have a stronger ability to take fire than the people in Beijing.
Fifth, the physique is different
1. Yuanmou people are not separated from the physical structure of animals.
2. On the low forehead of the Lantian people, the thick eyebrow spine is obviously raised. Moreover, they have been able to walk completely upright, which is an important sign of becoming a human being.
3. The physical structure of Beijing people has constituted the basic characteristics of human beings, but there are still some ape animal properties.
4, the cave people on the top of the mountain have no difference from modern people.
All in all, with the passage of time, the ape people continue to evolve in the struggle with nature, the location will migrate, the tools will become more and more advanced, the use of fire will change, and the physical structure will also change, especially the cave people on the top of the mountain, who have begun to live in groups, and are fixed according to the blood relationship, and have blood relations with each other, which laid the foundation for the later clan communes.
