摘要
参照60多处考古遗址的资料,认为史前时期古人类的活动及热带动物群的断续繁衍反映了中国热带自然地理环境的相对稳定性,因而生产力的发展比较迟缓,与北方地区相比,磨制石器的出现滞后约3000a,青铜时代滞后约1000a,农牧业滞后2500～3000a。无陶时代持续到新石器早期;彩陶和白陶的传入比北方迟2000a。迁徒的采集渔猎生活方式延续到新石器中期,以农业为基础的定居生活比北方迟1000～2000a。新石器末期约5000aBP才进入氏族社会,比北方迟约2000a。
Based on archaeology data from about sixty examples the relative stability of physical and human geography environment during prehistoric period in the tropical zone of China is discussed. The activity of Homo erectus and Homo sapiens, as well as the continual breeding of tropical mammalian fauna such as the Ailuropoda-Stegodon fauna and their descendant, indicates the superiority of physical environment in the tropical zone. Because of the superior natural environment, rich wild food resources and a sparse human population resulting in the absence of social requirement to transform the productive forces, so that the advance of economy and society was stagnated during prehistoric period in tropical China. Comparing with northern China, the coming out of ground stone tool in tropical China stagnated for about 3 000 years, the beginning of Bronze Age for about 1 000 years, and the agriculture for 2 500～3 000 years. The no ceramics age continued till early Neolithic Age and the appearing of colour or white ceramics was 2 000 years later than that in northern China. The life style of migration to gather and to hunt continued till middle Neolithic Age, and fixed settlement based on agriculture 1 000～2 000 years stagnated. The clan commune just appeared at the end of Neolithic Age which was 2 000～3 000 years later than that in northern China.
