摘要
新的蓝田公王岭猿人年代数据使蓝田公王岭成为除非洲以外仅次于格鲁吉亚Dmanisi的最古老直立人头骨化石的发现地点,并可能导致欧亚大陆大量关于早期化石古人类记录的再度调整。本文对新成果的地质学依据进行再分析,结果显示,所谓"头盖骨化石层沉积间断"在理论上无法解释,在事实上也并不存在。头盖骨化石位于L15中上部的原始记录更客观、更真实。蓝田公王岭猿人年代新结果的地层学和埋藏学依据值得商榷。
The new dating of the Homo erectus cranium from Lantian(Gongwangling)in China is making it the second oldest hominin cranium-bearing site outside of Africa(after Dmanisi,Georgia)with cranial remains,and may lead to substantial re-adjustment about the early fossil hominin record in Eurasia.Here we re-discuss and show that the so called"discontinuity of fossil layer of cranium"in the Gongwangling profile cannot be explained theoretically and does not exist in fact.We suggest that the original record of cranium fossils in the middle-upper of L15 is more objective and authentic.The stratigraphy and taphonomy of the new dating of the Homo erectus cranium from Lantian(Gongwangling)is questionable.
