  • Sights on the Roads Less Traveled New Book Features Authoritative Coverage of China’S Best Sights, a F As Ye Jun Discovers
    LIFETRAVEL 19 CHINA DAILY THURSDAY MARCH 1, 2007 Sights on the roads less traveled New book features authoritative coverage of China’s best sights, A F as Ye Jun discovers oreign tourists visiting China might fi nd many more alternatives for their travel destinations with the help of a recently published book, FScenic Splendor of China by Chinese National Geography magazine. The book aims to expand people’s understanding of the country’s most beautiful places, and differs greatly from conventional wisdom. “The book gives a fresh ranking of scenic spots in China, which are B no longer restricted to more known G tourist destinations such as Mount Taishan in Shandong Province and West Lake in Zhejiang Province, but cover a whole lot of different natural and cultural sceneries,” said Li Shuanke, a general manager with Chinese National Geography. The book lists 114 of the most beautiful places in 17 categories. These include more conventional classifications such as mountains, lakes, coastlines, waterfalls, forests, desserts, gorges, islands, grass- lands, cities, countryside towns and villages. But others fall into unusual classifications, such as the most beautiful caves, marshlands, Yadan (wind-eroded precipitous hillock) landforms, Danxia (red sandstone and conglomerate) landscapes, peak forests, and even glaciers. Contradictory to the fact that China’s national-level scenic areas are mostly located in the densely populated eastern part of China, most of the places mentioned in the H C book are located in the western part of the country. Li explained that in the past, the scenic spots most familiar to the Chinese people are mostly associated with poems, paintings and legends about them.

  • Diet of the Earliest Modern Humans in East Asia
    Diet of the earliest modern humans in East Asia Yan Wu ( [email protected] ) Chinese Academy of Sciences Dawei Tao Department of Archaeology, School of History, Zhengzhou University https://orcid.org/0000-0003- 1836-4390 Xiujie Wu Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences Wu Liu Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences Article Keywords: Hominins, Diet, Starch analysis, Dental calculus, Plants Posted Date: May 7th, 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-442096/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/15 Abstract Reconstructing diet can offer an improved understanding of the origin and evolution of modern humans. However, the diet of early modern humans in East Asia is poorly understood. Starch analysis of dental calculus is harmless to precious fossil hominins and provides the most direct evidence of plant food sources in early modern human dietary records. In this paper, we examined starch grains in dental calculus from Fuyan Cave hominins in Daoxian (South China), which were the earliest modern humans in East Asia. Our results reveal the earliest direct evidence of a hominin diet made of acorns, roots, tubers, grass seeds, and other yet-unidentied plants in marine isotope stage 5 between 120–80 ka. Our study also provides the earliest evidence that acorns may have played an important role in subsistence strategies. There may have been a long-lasting tradition of using these plants during the Late Pleistocene in China. Plant foods would have been a plentiful source of carbohydrates that greatly increased energy availability to human tissues with high glucose demands, such as the brain, red blood cells, and developing fetuses.
