越南史前古人类研究

Research on Paleoanthropology in Prehistoric Vietnam

越南处于中国南方和东南亚地区古人类迁徙和文化交流的重要通道,发现了较多古人类化石。从19世纪末至今,陆续发现了直立人化石、早期现代人化石、新石器时代人类遗骸等。这些化石的发现,对于研究东南亚地区早期人类进化和现代人起源问题提供了非常珍贵的材料。越南近年来的古人类学研究,除了传统形态学研究之外还加入了现代科技手段(如DNA技术)。新研究方法的运用,可以弥补传统方法的不足,发现更多珍稀古人类化石所蕴藏的科学信息。

Vietnam is an important channel for human migration and cultural exchange in Southern China and Southeast Asia in prehistoric preiod.Siuce 19 th century,many human fossils,including Homo erectus fossils,early modern human fossils,and Neolithic human remains,have been discovered in Vietnam.The discovery of these fossils provides valuable materials for the study of Homo erectus evolution and origin of modern humans in Southeast Asia.In recent years,In addition to traditional morphological studies,modern scientific and technological methods(such as DNA technology) have been applied to Paleoanthropological research in Vietnam.The use of these new research methods can make up the deficiency of traditional methods,and find more scientific information from the rare ancient human fossils.
