First, the discovery of skull fossils needs further study to understand the specific signs of human beings at that time. According to the Guangxi Institute of Archaeology, they made an important discovery in Guangxi. In one place, they found a human skull fossil 16000 years ago, and some cultural relics like rice and ceramics. Judging from the appearance of this skull, it is actually no special difference from the skull of modern people. Many people say that this may prove that humans appeared before apes.
However, this idea needs to be confirmed. After all, there are still some differences among primitive humans, intelligent humans and modern humans. Although it is not obvious from the appearance, there are still some differences from the specific signs. So we have to wait for experts to study and prove the difference between skulls and modern people.
Second, what is painstaking and time-consuming archaeology? What's the point? In most people's minds, archaeology is a meaningless thing. Even if you study those ancient things, what's the use? In fact, the significance of archaeology is not to prove how smart modern people are, but to know how human beings appeared and how the process of human invention is through archaeology. The most important thing is to obtain some wisdom crystallization of our ancestors through archaeology.
Although modern people are smart and advanced in social civilization, we can see from some ancient books that the wisdom of the ancients is not less than that of modern people. The Forbidden City can withstand an earthquake of magnitude 10. 1, without a steel bar or a screw, and some medical books unearthed in archaeology have also been confirmed to be able to continue to be used. Applying ancient learning to the present should be the meaning of archaeology.
Finally: Is human really a cycle?
