there are currently two main hypotheses about the origin of modern chinese people: one is the multi-regional evolution with hybridization theory, which states that the chinese people are the result of local evolution and hybridization; the other is the african origin theory, which states that modern chinese people originated from africa.

among them, the african origin theory has a basic premise, which is to explain where the ancient humans in many parts of the world went when modern africans arrived. if modern africans replaced the indigenous people, either violently or gently, then there would inevitably be traces left, which would at least lead to changes in the cultural landscape, but archaeology has not found any traces of replacement. therefore, western scholars proposed that "the cooling climate exterminated the indigenous people 100,000 to 50,000 years ago", and modern africans successfully took over the empty eurasian territory.

the question is: 100,000 to 50,000 years ago, many animals in the north were still alive, so would the ancient chinese humans who had inherited wisdom for more than 2 million years have all been frozen to death and extinct? in fact, archaeology in new china has confirmed that even in the northern region, there are still a large number of remains of ancient human activities during this period, so the theory of the extinction of the indigenous people is not credible. in the past two years, shandong archaeology has made a major breakthrough, connecting the sequence of shandong's paleolithic evolution and once again overturning this western conclusion.
