The fossil record of human evolution in China has increased dramatically within the last two decades. The following resources are meant to introduce both earlier and more recent fossil hominid discoveries from China. These include examples of the archaic human ancestor H. erectus; pre-modern forms of H. sapiens, which are intermediate in time and morphology between H. erectus and anatomically modern people; and early forms of fully modern H. sapiens known from China. In order to facilitate browsing this information you can go directly to page one of the picture gallery, or first go to the table of fossil specimens and locate the specimen (cataloged by province) you are interested in viewing, then click on its location name to jump to the picture gallery, where a photo and caption are available. You can also start out from the maps page or time-line. The latter two resources are client maintained "usemaps" configured for PCs using Windows 3.1 and Netscape 3.0. They may not be operational with other browsers or operating systems. |
