内容説明

In recent years, China has produced a wealth of hominid fossils, shedding new light on the course of human evolution. This book is the first comprehensive treatment of these fossil finds. After a brief description of Chinese paleoanthropology all major Chinese sites are covered - and for the first time in one place. Original translations of Chinese-language materials and original analyses of a number of fossils are included. The focus is on metric information for use in comparing the samples with fossils from other parts of the world. Sections are organised as follows : (1) Fossil name and location of the site (2) how, when, and by whom found (3) detailed description (4) archaeological remains at the site (5) floral and faunal content of the site.
