The great ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan, a famous poem "Heavenly Questions". In this four-character poem, he asked who created the world and everything, and where did humans come from? He doesn't believe in the legend of and nüwa: "Nuwa has a body, who is the craftsman?"
If human beings were created by Nüwa, who made Nüwa? This deep question of Qu Yuan is an eternal question from generation to generation. Unfortunately, there is no definite answer yet.
Naturally, anthropologists do not believe in the legend that gods created human beings, even the " Bible " story of God creating the world and mankind, they do not believe it. Scientists generally believe that Darwin 's thesis on the evolution of apes into humans.
Nowadays, anthropologists all over the world agree that the earliest ancient humans on the earth were at least 5 million years ago, and gradually evolved into the stages of Homo sapiens, Homo erectus, early Homo sapiens, Homo sapiens, and modern humans. It evolved into Homo sapiens about 100,000 years ago. The human beings living on the earth now belong to Homo sapiens, or modern humans in the anatomical sense.
The ancients 5 million years ago are actually the great apes who have just entered the threshold of mankind. The fossil of this ape was first unearthed from Africa and is called the southern . The direct ancestor of Australopithecus is the Ramah ape 14 million years ago, and the fossils of this ancient ape were also first seen in Africa.
However, in 1956 and 1975, ape fossils of the same age as the "Lama ancient ape" were discovered in Kaiyuan City and Lufeng County, Yunnan Province, China, indicating that there are local "indigenous" apes on the ancient Chinese land. Like ancestors, they evolved into ancient Chinese apes. The Chinese come from the land of China.
In addition, fossils of this ancient ape were also found in India and other places, so anthropologists concluded that the origin of ancient humans may not only be in Africa, but in many places. For example, Southeast Asia is also one of the birthplaces of mankind.
In this way, India and China are also the hometowns of mankind. This glory may comfort and answer the old Master Qu Yuan's heart of asking the sky. From 1921 to 1929, China discovered the “Peking Man (500,000 years ago) fossils. The Chinese originated in China and became a solid theory.
However, it was in East Africa in 1974 In Ethiopia in the Rift Valley, a female ape-man skeleton that preserved 40% of the remains was discovered. It was more than 3 million years ago. Anthropologists gave her a sweet name "Lucy Maiden".
plus a large number of early ancient ape-man fossils unearthed in Africa constitute a complete evolutionary system, so since 1987, ancient humans "born in Africa and going global" once again swept the world.
Naturally, the belief that China is the hometown of ancient humans still stands firmly on the land of China.
The origin of ancient humans has finally been said, what about modern people? Is it the result of the continued reproduction of local indigenous ancients or the descendants of the migration of Africans?
1987 Three American human genetics By studying the mitochondrial DNA of 148 women from three continents in Africa, Europe and Asia, we found that Africans have the most variation among the races of all continents, which proves that the history of Africans is the longest on all continents.
The calculation found that modern Africans have a history of 200,000 years, while the history of modern humans in Eurasia is only 130,000 years. It is concluded that modern people originated from the same ancestor in Africa. They called this old grandmother "African Eve".
In 1999, more than 20 Chinese geneticists studied the genetic proof of the Y chromosome of the DNA of 28 Chinese populations and believed that modern Chinese people originated in Africa.
Chinese geneticists believe that about 60,000 years ago, some Africans migrated northward into China from Southeast Asia, completely replacing the descendants of the ancient Beijingers and becoming the ancestors of modern Chinese.
At that time, some people thought that the human fossil that was 60,000 to 100,000 years old was missing from the archaeological excavations of humans in China. This blank just proved the correctness of the conclusion that Africans came to China as the ancestors of modern Chinese.
Someone asked, if Africans really entered China, where did the descendants of the Peking Man who stayed here? The answer: Maybe it was the prehistoric flood that wiped out the sky, maybe it was with the Africans. Die in the fight.
Other scholars believe that the unearthed human fossils are more tangible proof than the evidence of genetics. After the 1980s, China unearthed a large number of human fossils dating from 50,000 to 100,000 years ago.
For example, the Xichou people, Kunming people, Liujiang people, Hetao people, and the discovery of a large number of ancient ape-man fossils in the early days, constitute an uninterrupted chain of human evolution.
Therefore, the sudden extinction of native ancients and the sudden entry of African ancestors to replace the indigenous humans is just a hypothesis and imagination. Therefore, where the ancestors of modern Chinese people came from is still an unsolved mystery.
What's more, some scholars have suggested that four human footprints were found on Triassic rocks in Guanyuan County, Yunnan, China. According to textual research, the rock is 235 million years old.
So where did the footprints of people from 235 million years ago come from? The oldest Wushan people in China are only 2 million years old. How do you explain the footprints of humans so long?
So, they proposed "prehistoric civilization"" The concept of reincarnation in "prehistoric culture" is more like a fantasy. But who can arbitrarily say that this is an unreasonable assumption?
China’s Tianwen-1 is about to land on Mars. At the end of this century, China will also run into deep space at the edge of the solar system. Maybe there is our answer.
Regardless of where the ancestors of modern Chinese and ancient Chinese came from, after the Chinese ancestors entered the Homo sapiens stage, they created a splendid culture and civilization, and it is the only ancient civilization in the world that has the same origin. This is indisputable. fact.
