Abstract

中国乃至东亚地区现代人起源问题, 在国际学术界“近期出自非洲说”和“多地区进化说”两派学说激烈争论的背景下一直存在着“本土连续演化”与“非洲移民替代”两种假说的碰撞, 两种观点的主要提出与支持者分别来自古人类学和分子生物学界. 随着新材料发现、新分析进展和更多领域介入此项研究, 相关认识得到深化, 有关假说得以发展和修正, 不同人群间发生过基因交流、现代人都经历过复杂的融合与演化过程渐成学术界共识. 中国地区新发现的人类化石所揭示的古人类体质特点及其演化, 旧石器时代考古研究成果和古DNA信息的提取与破译, 正使该地区现代人群起源与形成过程逐渐清晰起来, 但不同假说的交锋仍在持续, 分子生物学主流观点认定中国地区最早现代人来自西方, 古人类学和考古学则在强化对“连续进化附带杂交”观点的论述. 本文梳理、总结了近年中国在此问题上的研究进展及西方学术界的相关发展变化, 分析了研究中存在的问题, 对未来方向提出了思路与建议.
