【摘要】 欧亚大陆最早的人类出现在什么时候一直是学术界争论不休的课题。随着研究的扩展,新的遗址不断发现,新的诠释也不断出现。但是在欧亚大陆上新发现的具备人工制品或人类活动遗迹的绝对年龄在向2 Ma靠近时,争论就会激烈起来。欧亚大陆发现的早更新世早期人类活动遗址分布在法国、西班牙、捷克斯洛伐克、罗马尼亚、格鲁吉亚和中国。虽然格鲁吉亚德马尼西遗址的人工制品已经基本上得到了学术界的认可,但是其他国家的遗址由于缺少说服力强的人类化石而一直处于待确定状态或干脆被否定的状态。但是学术界对欧亚大陆出现2 Ma人工制品的可能已经不再像以前那样完全拒绝了。更多还原

【Abstract】 It is a controversial topic when the earliest human appeared in Eurasia.With the progress of research and field exploration,more and more new sites have been discovered and more and more interpretations have been proposed.Whenever the dating of the discoveries or interpretations of the Eurasian earliest human traces is approaching 2 Ma,the debates will become more and more heated.The earliest Eurasian Paleolithic sites are reported in France,Spain,Romania,Czechoslovakia,Georgia and China.Although Dmanisi Site in Georgia has been accepted by international community as the earliest site witnesses the first human appearance in Eurasia,other sites dated around 2 Ma have not yet been accepted due to lack of convincing hominin materials.Nevertheless,the interpretation of existence of early human in Eurasia around 2 Ma is no longer fully rejected as it was.更多还原
