Abstract:In order to reveal climatic process, environmental evolution and internal relationship between paleohuman evolution in eastern China in the past 100000 years, based on climate evolution curve of cave stalagmites, seven loess paleosoil profiles established in eastern China (east of 105° E) in recent years have been analyzed for the first time. It is found that there is a highly coupled relationship between the climate reflected by these profiles and the climate evolution curve of cave stalagmites. It is showed that eastern China has experienced a cyclic climate evolution process of glacialinterglacial periods since 100000 years. Ice wedge structures, glacial remains, mammoth fossils and other ice age remains found in eastern China have been analyzed comprehensively. It is showed that the temperature drop in eastern China during the ice age is about 13~15℃, and the southern temperate zone migrate to the south by 8~10 latitudes. On this basis, the process of climate evolution over the past 100000 years is divided into stages, and a scale of climate evolution has been established. The eastern part of China is roughly divided into five river basins from north to south, they are Heilongjiang, Liaohe, Yellow, Yangtze and Pearl rivers. The correlation between the massive age data of ancient human remains in these basins and the scale of climate evolution have been analyzed. It is found that the evolution of hominins in China is strictly restricted by the climatic process of glacialinterglacial periods. There are both warm periods (interglacial periods) suitable for hominins and cold periods unsuitable for hominins in eastern China. On this basis, environmental archaeological stages have been established. The drastic environmental changes caused by glacialinterglacial cycle resulted in the loss of cultural relics and the formation of cultural discontinuity (lack of ring) during the glacial period, which is also the core internal cause of the staged characteristics of the prehistoric ancient culture in eastern China. On the basis of environmental archaeological stages, spatial and temporal evolution relationship between the cold and warm cycles (glacialinterglacial periods) and many elements, such as glacial remains, ancient ice wedge structure, mammoth fossils and ancient human remains in eastern China in the past 100000 years has been constructed for the first time, and the environmental archaeological stages have been initially established. The establishment of environmental archaeology stages will provide a new perspective for understanding the relationship between the development of ancient humans in China and the climatic process and environmental evolution.
