从1974年《化石》杂志刊出元谋炭屑介绍文章以来,不同的报纸和杂志也相继报道,对其发现的意义作了推论,评价愈来愈高,把它看作是人类用火的最早证据,依此而认为人类用火开始于170万年前。但是,从目前公布的材料看,得出上述结论似有进一步探讨的余地,现提出来讨论。 Since the magazine Fossil published the introductory article on charcoal charcoal in 1974, various newspapers and magazines have also reported one after another and inferred the significance of its discovery. The evaluation is getting higher and higher, which is regarded as the earliest use of fire by mankind Evidence, according to which human fire started 1.7 million years ago. However, judging from the materials published so far, there seems to be room for further exploration of the above conclusion and will be put forth for discussion.
