中科院古脊椎动物与古人类所与其合作者研究发现东亚地区更新世古人类内耳迷路。该项研究为古人类学界对更新世东亚与欧洲人类之间是否存在基因交流的研究与争论提供了新的化石证据。研究小组利用高分辨率工业CT技术,复原出中国早更新世公王岭蓝田直立人、中更新世和县直立人、晚更新世许家窑早期智人和柳江人的三维内耳迷路,初步揭示了东亚 Chinese Academy of Sciences vertebrates and ancient human vertebrates and their collaborators found that the East Asia region Pleistocene pale within the inner ear lost. This study provides new fossil evidence for the study and debate of the existence of gene exchange between ancient Pleistocene East Asians and European humans. The team used high-resolution industrial CT technology to recover from the three-dimensional inner ear labyrinth of early Wang Xiling Lantian Homo erectus, Mid-Pleistocene and County Homo erectus, and Xujiayao Late Homo sapiens and Liujiang people in early Pleistocene China East Asia
