Features: This book possesses strong informational and readability. It collects important papers on Paleolithic archaeology published by scholars who have worked and studied at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology over the past 80 years, systematically demonstrating the historical development of this discipline in China, showcasing the unique insights of Chinese scholars in human origins and Paleolithic culture research, and compiling rich information from significant sites. It should be noted that this book is not just a collection of papers. After the papers, an annotated bibliography of Paleolithic archaeology literature written by the institute's staff is appended, which greatly facilitates the retrieval and research of literature in this field. Another highlight of the book is the Chronological Record of Major Events in Chinese Paleolithic Archaeology, which marks the milestones of significant events in Chinese Paleolithic archaeology and outlines the development trajectory of this discipline in a chronological manner. Additionally, the editorial work of this book was initiated and undertaken by the young scholars of the Stone Tool Group in the Paleoanthropology Laboratory of the institute. The younger generation dares to take responsibility and bravely contributes their wisdom and efforts to the development of our discipline, which brings me great satisfaction.
