The distribution of early Paleolithic cultures in China has been widespread. Chinese Paleolithic cultures dating back to 1 million years BP include the Xihoudou Culture, the Yuanmou Man stone tools, the Kehe Culture, the Lantian Human Culture, and the Donggutuo site. [7]

There is a possibility that this first wave of expansion may have reached China (or even North America [dubious – discuss] [48]) as early as 125,000 years ago, but would have died out without leaving a trace in the genome of contemporary humans.

Yuanmou Man could also indicate humans dispersed from south to north across China, but there are too few other well-constrained early Chinese sites to test this hypothesis. [8] Humans likely already settled in China at earliest 2.12 million years ago evidenced by stone tools recovered from the Loess Plateau in northwestern China. [9]
Xuchang 1 had a large brain volume of approximately 1800 cc, on the high end for Neanderthals and early modern humans, and well beyond the present-day human average. [ 49 ] The Denisovan genome from Denisova Cave has variants of genes which, in modern humans, are associated with dark skin, brown hair, and brown eyes. [ 50 ]

[7] In the 1970s, a more complex view of early China replaced the old bipolar theory as a result of extensive archaeological works and the application of scientific methods.
