Features: The vast expanse of China has been suitable for humans and their ancestors to live in for about two million years. Among them, the fertile plains were the home of the Lantian people. The fossils of the Lantian people have been proven to be 1.5 million years old; while the remains of the subsequent Hemudu people and Peking Man also have a history of 500,000 years in the Paleolithic Age. During the Paleolithic Age, they used stone tools for hunting, leaving behind fossils of the teeth of tigers, elephants, and other beasts that were killed; starting from 5,000 BC in the Neolithic Age, agriculture, animal husbandry, and pottery began to rise, which was the foundation for bronze production, and left behind numerous remains of Neolithic human settlements.
