| Abstract: | China is believed to be a country especially endowed with the fossils and materials related to early human evolution, next only to the African continent in terms of fecundity and systematism. These materials, including physical and cultural remains of huminids, their associated fauna and flora as well as prehistoric sites, are essential for probing the human origin and evolution. Yet, experts say that the studies of these fossils and artefacts are far from being adequate and perfect in China because they have been plagued by many weak points. |
