It began to appear about 40 thousand to 50 thousand years ago. The main morphological differences between them are that the front teeth and face shape are reduced, the brow ridge is weakened and the skull height is increased, which is more obvious to modern people. In the late stage of Homo sapiens, the arm was below the knee, the body hair degenerated, and there was language and labor, sociality and class.
Morphological characteristics are more progressive than those of Homo erectus. It is divided into early homo sapiens and late homo sapiens. Early Homo sapiens used to be called the ancients, living 250,000 to 40,000 years ago. Its main feature is its large brain capacity, which is above 1 300 ml.
Extended Data The late Paleolithic human fossils in northern China belong to the late Homo sapiens: Neanderthals.
Neanderthals, human fossils in the late Paleolithic period in northern China. It belongs to the late Homo sapiens. It is named after the cave found at the top of the Peking Man Site in Longgushan, Zhoukoudian, Beijing. The Cenozoic laboratory of China Geological Survey was discovered at 1930, and was excavated by Pei Wenzhong at 1933 to 1934.
Stone tools, bone horns and perforated ornaments were unearthed together with human fossils, and the earliest known tombs in China were discovered. The geological age is the end of late Pleistocene. According to the radiocarbon dating, the dating is similar to the local scene.
The physique of cavemen has made great progress. The widest part of the skull is near the parietal tubercle, with small teeth, high crown, obvious mandibular flexion and prominent chin. The brain volume has reached 1300 ~ 1500 ml. These characteristics conform to modern people. The height of male is about1.74m, and that of female is about1.59m. ..
