How did humans evolve?

The order is: Yuanmou Man, Peking Man, Shandong Cave Man, Hemudu Man, Banpo Man.

1. Yuanmou Man: The tooth fossil of Yuanmou Man was discovered in Shangnabeng Village, Yuanmou County, Yunnan Province on May Day in 1965. Yuanmou County is known as the "Hometown of Yuanmou Man". In 1976, according to the paleomagnetic method, the living age was about 1.7 million years ago, with a gap of no more than 100,000 years at most (some scholars believe that the age should not exceed 730,000 years, which means the gap is between 600,000 and 500,000 years). or later).

2. Peking Man (Peking Man): lived about 700,000 to 200,000 years ago. Peking Man lived in Zhoukoudian, Beijing in ancient times. He belonged to Homo erectus and could use natural fire to make tools (stone tools). For the first time, humans have gained the ability to control a natural force.

They lived about 700,000 to 200,000 years ago. They still retained some characteristics of apes, but their hands and feet had a clear division of labor. They could make and use tools, and they could use natural fire. The forest is dense, overgrown with weeds, and wild beasts are infested. Beijingers pounded rocks into rough stone tools, chopped branches into sticks, and fought hard against nature with extremely primitive tools.

In such a dangerous environment, it is impossible to survive by relying on the strength of a single person. Therefore, there are often dozens of them together, working together, sharing the fruits of labor, and living in groups. This formed the early primitive society.

3. Shanding Cave Man: Shanding Cave Man is a human fossil from the Late Paleolithic Age in North China. Belongs to late Homo sapiens. It was named after it was discovered in the cave at the top of the Peking Man ruins at Longgu Mountain in Zhoukoudian, Beijing. Discovered in 1930, the Cenozoic Research Laboratory of China Geological Survey conducted excavations from 1933 to 1934 under the leadership of Pei Wenzhong. The age of the Shanding Cave culture should be between about 27,000 and 34,000 years ago.

4. Hemudu people: ancient humans who lived in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River more than 7,000 years ago. They lived a settled life, lived in stilt-style houses, used boats and rafts to carry people and objects, and collected floating water. They also used knives, daggers, hammers, shovels, spears, bowls, tubes, sticks, handles, spinning wheels, and butterfly-shaped utensils. Wait for wooden tools, cultivate artificial rice, domesticate livestock such as pigs, dogs and buffaloes, and dig wells. The earliest lacquerware found in China was unearthed in Hemudu. The pottery production was of a certain standard, and the highest firing temperature is estimated to be 1,000 degrees Celsius.

5. Banpo people: Banpo culture is a typical representative of Yangshao culture in the Yellow River Basin. The Banpo site is located right on the Qinchuan River, with Bailu Plain at its back and Chan River in front. It dates back about 5,000 to 6,000 years, and should be in the middle of the Neolithic Age. As the Shangzhai cultural sites that follow each other in time, there are Yanshan Mountain in the north and Jinghe River in the south, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
