: 300 Homo erectus two million years ago

"Brother Chen, you are an expert in this field and have a wealth of knowledge. Can you tell us about these petroglyphs?" Sun Yue said to Chen Rui.
"Of course you can," Chen Rui nodded. "You see, there are fish, deer, goats, buffalo and mammoths in the petroglyphs, and saber-toothed tigers. It shows that an ancient primitive tribe lived here. Fishing, hunting for a living, but also competing with fierce beasts such as mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, wolves and other beasts for living resources and living a primitive life of drinking blood. "
Also, here, some lines depict the stacked firewood, and there was a fire on the firewood. This tells us a very important message. This primitive tribe has learned to use fire. With fire, this is a very big advance in primitive civilization. "
Chen Rui explained some of the meanings of the petroglyphic patterns to the four Li Manhao while watching other petroglyphs.
Petroglyphs give very limited information.
Chen Rui can draw a few points from these petroglyphs about the primitive tribe who lived here.
1. Simple tools are used, for example, it is very simple to make tools such as scrapers, sharpeners, chopping tools, etc. by hitting stones with stones.
2. Will use fire.
3. Living by fishing, hunting, and collecting wild fruits.
4. This primitive tribe that once lived here is facing great danger. The fierce saber-toothed tigers and wolves, bears, mammoths and other beasts gather in the forest and haunt the mountains, not only threatening their safety at all times, Moreover, these beasts compete with the primitive tribes for limited survival resources.
This is enough to show that the primitive tribes that once lived here were 'people', 'fully formed people', not apes.
This is a very big message.
It is important to distinguish between 'people' and 'apes'.
Everyone knows that humans evolved from apes.
65 million years ago. A meteorite with a width of about 16 kilometers hit the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico today, causing a huge disaster. At that time, two-thirds of the animal species including dinosaurs on the earth had died out, the golden age of reptiles was over, and primitive breastfeeding Animals survived the calamity and survived for a long time, then evolved rapidly.
More than 50 million years ago. Primates have evolved rapidly in a radial pattern, and higher primates have been differentiated from primitive primates of lower primates.
Next, the ape appeared.
Apes appeared 33 million to 24 million years ago, and apes were produced from monkeys in the old world.
From about 10 million years ago to about 3.8 or 2 million years ago, two famous apes were produced on Earth. One is the Lama ancient ape, and the other is the southern ancient ape.
among them. The most famous is the southern ancient ape.
Australopithecus is known as the "man in the making".
Two and a half million years ago, Africa's climate began to deteriorate. The glacial period struck from the northern hemisphere, and most of the southern ancient apes disappeared.
However, there are two exceptions. In one case, the savanna was preserved in some areas, where the southern apes were able to survive.
In another case, a certain southern ancient ape was forced to become smarter, and in order to survive, they learned to throw stones and use wood to make primitive weapons. Using bonfires, of course they are not 'humans', but eventually they will evolve into adult genus.
The next upright person appeared on Earth. Homo erectus is a 'fully formed person' who knows how to use fire, starts to use symbols and basic language, and can use more sophisticated tools.
Compared to the southern ancient ape that was forced to become smart, he simply learned to throw stones, using wood, and the erect person adopted the method of striking stones with stones. Hit the anvil and smash the stone. Cut branches and make tools. It is indeed a more sophisticated tool.
With the limited information given by petroglyphs, Chen Rui can basically determine that the primitive tribe who once lived here was an erect person.
The age may be more than 2 million years to about 2.1 to 2.2 million years.
Because there is evidence that the Sahara Desert was formed more than 2 million years ago. The Sahara Desert more than 2 million years ago was a lush grassland dotted with lakes and ponds.
If, once, primitive tribes lived here, there were enough adequate food sources, and a good living environment allowed them to live here.
That was only when the Sahara Desert was still a lush grassland before the formation of the Sahara Desert.
Remains of the life of Homo erectus more than 2 million years ago!
There are also a lot of petroglyphs left by the erect people on the rock wall more than 2 million years ago.
In fact, there are more surprises waiting for Chen Rui to discover, for example, the fossils of the erect humans living here.
If published, it is estimated that the archaeological world and the academic world will shake n circles.
For example, Yanjing ape man is scientifically called 'Yanjing Homo erectus'. Yanjing ape man came to Zhoukoudian about 700,000 years ago and lived here for nearly 500,000 years. By about 200,000 years ago, Yanjing Ape Man left here.
The discovery of Yanjing Ape-man and the announcement of this news have shaken the world's academic circles.
In China, the famous Yanjing cranium, the legend surrounding this thing and the mystery of its whereabouts can be written as a tens of thousands of pages of biography.
Homo erectus who lived here was more than 2 million years ago.
If the influence level of the Yanjing Ape-man can make the archaeological world and the academic world shake one circle.
Well, the level of influence of the Homo erectus found here can shake the archaeological and academic circles around the world 4 times.
If you compare by earthquake magnitude.
The shaking of Yanjing Ape-man to the whole world was a magnitude 10 earthquake.
The earthquake caused by the uprights here is a magnitude 11 earthquake.
The significance of the discovery of the cranium of the Yanjing people was to confirm the existence of the upright person. UU read the book www. uukanshu.com clarifies the sequence of human evolution and provides strong evidence for the ‘from ape to human’ doctrine.
The Homo erectus here finds even more significance.
You know, more than 2 million years ago, it was a very special time period in the history of human evolution.
During this time, as the climate of tropical Africa began to deteriorate, the southern ancient apes were forced to evolve from apes to adult genus, adapt to the environment, and survive.
During this time, they have just evolved from Australopithecus apetus to Homo erectus and were again forced by the harsh environment to start the first great migration, spreading from Africa to Asia.
The earliest representatives of the African Orthodox germline were strong people.
The discovery of this life relic can tell the world that Zhuang people are not the earliest Homo erectus, but that Chen Rui has found an unnamed Homo erectus here.
The history of the existence of Homo erectus has been pushed forward again by 200,000 to 300,000 years.
Petroglyphs are only part of this relic of life. (To be continued)
