What's the difference between Yuanmou and Beijingers?

The difference between Yuanmou people and Beijingers;

Yuanmou Man

Yuanmou Man was named "Yuanmou Homo erectus" because he was found on the hill in the northwest of Shangnabang Village, Yuanmou County, Yunnan Province. In English, he is called "Yuanmou Man". The word "Yuanmou" comes from Dai language, which means "steed".

1 may, 9651day Yuanmou man's tooth fossils were found in shangnabang village, Yuanmou county, Yunnan province. Yuanmou County is known as "the hometown of Yuanmou people". 1976 according to the paleomagnetic method, the life age is about1700,000 years ago, and the difference between before and after is not more than100,000 years (some scholars think that its age should not exceed 730,000 years, that is, it may be 600,000 years ago to 500,000 years ago or later).

About 6.5438+0.7 million years ago, Yuanmou in Yunnan was a subtropical grassland and forest, where tertiary animals such as deer and ungulates lived and multiplied. After a while, early Pleistocene animals such as mulberry hyenas, Yunnan horses and Shanxi axis deer appeared in this grassland and forest. Most of them are herbivores. Yuanmou people hunted with crude stone tools in order to survive. According to these two teeth, stone tools, carbon chips and later a small amount of stone products, a large number of carbon chips and mammalian fossils were unearthed in the same place and at the same level, which proved that they were primitive humans who could make tools and use fire.

Beijing natives

Beijingers live in Zhoukoudian, Beijing, and belong to Homo erectus. They can use natural fire to make tools. For the first time, mankind has gained the ability to dominate a natural force.

1929, in the cave of Zhoukoudian, Beijing, an archaeologist from China discovered a complete skull fossil of an ancient human, a world-renowned Beijinger.

They lived about 765,438+0,000 to 230,000 years ago. They still retain some features of apes, but there is a clear division of labor between their hands and feet. They can make and use tools and use natural fire. Dense forests, overgrown weeds and wild animals. Beijingers beat stones into rough stone tools, cut branches into sticks, and fought hard against nature with extremely primitive tools.

You can't live independently in such a dangerous environment. So they often have dozens of people together, * * * work together, * * * share the fruits of their work and live in groups. This formed the early primitive society.

Prehistoric caveman

Neanderthal, Homo erectus, about 18000 years ago. 1930, found in the cave at the top of Beijing ape-man site in Longgushan, Zhoukoudian, Beijing. Many Peking man fossils have been found in caves, but in stalactite caves at the top of the mountain, they are called "Neanderthals" in archaeology and "Uppercaveman" in English. Neanderthals made great progress, and their body shapes were basically the same as those of modern people. They lived in a matriarchal clan commune and mastered the skills of scraping, grinding and drilling. They also sew clothes with bone needles and bone cones, and make skirts with animal skins. They also know how to make a fire by hand and master the technology of making a fire.
