中国的西南地区位于亚洲大陆的南部,北接黄河流域,南与印度、孟加拉国、缅甸、老挝、越南等国为邻,是连接亚洲大陆腹地与印巴次大陆及大陆东南亚的枢纽,包括四川、云南、贵州、广西、重庆和西藏。根据近半个世纪一些学者的研究,中国西南存在促进从猿到人转变的有利条件,人们在西南地区发现了众多的与人类形成关系密切的古猿化石,从猿到人发展过程重要环节的标本大体已找到,其发展进程具有连续性。考古材料也表明,除了中国大陆尤其是中国西南,东南亚也有可能是人类的起源地之一,从远古时期就有人类祖先在活动。因此,包括中国西南地区和东南亚在内的亚洲东南部,有可能是人类起源的摇篮。
China’s southwestern region is located in the southern part of the Asian continent, to the north of the Yellow River basin and to the south. It is adjacent to India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam. It is a hub connecting the hinterland of Asia with India, the subcontinent and mainland China’s Southeast Asia, including Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Chongqing and Tibet. According to some scholars’ studies in the past half century, there are favorable conditions in southwest China to promote the transition from ape to man. Many ancient fossil fossils closely related to human beings have been found in the southwestern region. From the ape to the important part of human development Specimens have generally been found and their development is continuous. Archeological materials also show that in addition to mainland China, especially southwest China, Southeast Asia may also be one of the origins of mankind, and human ancestry has been in existence since ancient times. Therefore, southeast Asia, including Southwest China and Southeast Asia, may be the cradle of human origins.
