摘要: 演化为人的进化长河至少可追溯到500万年前,对该长河中的两个缺失环节,即“根人”和“南方古猿源泉种”的仔细分析再次证实了达尔文的渐变理论。现代人起源的“走出非洲”和多地域假说争论不休,对尼安德特人和丹尼沙瓦人全基因组草图测序和分析表明,混合上述两个假说的提议似乎更可取。人之所以为人的根本解释,今已聚焦到开创文化的大脑上。大量证据表明,智能进化支持了四个等级语言和三个世界框架体系。

Abstract: The long evolutionary way for human can be traced back to about 5 million years ago, in which two “missing links”,  Ardipithecus ramidus and Australopithecus sediba, have been validated. There are two conflicted hypotheses, “out of Africa” and multiregional origins. At present, the mixture of both hypotheses seems to be more valuable according to Neanderthal and Denisovan genome draft and other data. The ultimate explanation for being human is focused on the culturemaking brain, especially in the cerebral hemisphere asymmetry, that bolsters the framework for 4 graded languages and 3 types of world.
