Chinese scientists have discovered dozens of human fossils dating back 300,000 years, representing the earliest such findings in East Asia concerning the evolutionary process towards Homo sapiens, the species to which all modern humans belong.
The human fossils, along with a large number of fossilized animal bones and stone tools, were unearthed at the Hualongdong site in Dongzhi County, east China’s Anhui Province.
From Friday to Sunday this week, Chinese researchers reported their latest discoveries and studies related to the Hualongdong ancient human site at an academic conference held in Dongzhi County. Nearly 100 researchers and scholars, including over a dozen international experts, attended the event.
The discoveries at Hualongdong provide significant insights into the early stages of human evolution in East Asia. The combination of human fossils, animal remains, and stone tools offers valuable information for understanding the development and behaviors of ancient humans in the region.
