摘要
自１９４９ 年新中国建立以后，在中国各地相继发现中新世早期以来的远古人类化石，使之有可能逐渐阐明亚洲人类的演化过程，笔者根据各化石的特征考察它们的系统，根据各时期的古环境及古气候情况推断它们的演化途径，把在欧洲出现的古类人猿 Ａｌｓａｔｉｃｏｐｉｔｈｅｃｕｓ 当成发现种，非洲系人类在非洲及欧洲或亚洲中部完成了演化。同时，把在缅甸出现的古类人猿 Ａｍｐｈｉｐｉｔｈｅｃｕｓ 或 Ｐｏｎｄａｕｎｇｉａ 当成发源种，亚洲系人类在亚洲东南部完成了演化。在此期间，在非洲及欧洲或亚洲中部的巴基斯坦出现的西瓦古猿及腊玛古猿或南方猿人都因为长期连续发生的喜马拉雅运动而使它们东迁未能得以实现。所以非洲系人类和亚洲系人类两者之间没有系统上的关系。因此笔者提倡“亚洲人类的起源发生于亚洲东南部”的看法。
Since the founding of New China in 1949 there have been fonud in the country large quantities of ape and human fossils dated at Early Miocene or later.The discovery and study of these fossils make it possible to clarify the process of the evolution of the human species in Asia.The author has investigated the designation of their system on the basis of the characteristics of individual fossils and inferred the path of their evolution in the light of their paleoenvironments and paleoclimates in various geological times.With the Alsaticopithecus from Europe serving as an origin species,the human species of African system has completed its evolutionary course in Africa and Europe or in the central part of Asia.Meanwhile,with the Amphipithecus or Pondaungia from Burma serving as an origin species,the human species of Asian system has completed its evolutionary course in the southeastern part of Asia.In the meantime,the protracted and continuous Himalayan movement made it impossible for the Sivapithecus , Ramapithecus and Australopithecus to migrate in Africa,Europe as well as in Pakistan of Central Asia.So there should not be any systematic and evoutionary relations between the human species of African system and that of Asian system.Consequently,the author holds a view that the Asian human species should originate from the southeastern Asia.
