摘要: 本文记述了陕西陇县出土的战国时代人类牙齿形态特征.数据对比和统计分析显示:与华北新石器时代人类相比,陇县人类牙齿形态特征除具有典型蒙古人种的共同特点外,与现代华北人更为接近。作者认为在近一万年内华北地区人类在体质特征上经历了某种规律性的演化过程,其表现特点是朝向现代华北人的方向转变。这一过程反映了东北亚地区人类在这一特定时间内体质特征的微观演化趋势。

Abstract: The dental morphological traits of the people of Zhanguo period (2000 years BP) unearthed in Longxian of Shaanxi province were observed. The comparisons and statistical analyses show that compared with Neolithic people of north China, the dental morphology of Longxian specimens not only has the typical Mongoloid characteristics but also shows closer similarity with modern north Chinese. The authors believe in the past 10,000 years the physical traits of north Chinese experienced some regular evolution in the direction to the modern north Chinese. This process reflects the trend of microevolution of physical characters of the people of northeast Asia.
