摘要

自從人類的早期祖先離開非洲之後，其後代不斷地遷移及適應擴散，佔據了全球主要的生態環境，也在各地落地生根，發展出不同的舊石器時代文化，其中人口規模擴散的速度及環境尺度最大者，唯最後一次冰期的古蒙古種所屬。本文所要討論的是根據體質人類學及分子生物學的最近研究成果來追溯蒙古人種華南類型。其中最關鍵的兩個問題是：蒙古人種南部支系的型態性狀為何？何時分化成「北部支系」及「南部支系」？

Ever since our early human ancestors left the homeland in Africa, their descendants migrated, radiated and occupied all major ecological niches around the world and then developed their own Paleolithic cultures. The ancient mongoloid in East Asia could have been the largest subspecies in terms of the dispersal rate and scale ever since the last glacial. The main purpose of this paper is to review the current researches on the origins and then on the status of southern mongoloid by physical anthropologists and molecular biologists. Two key questions are discussed in this paper: first, the major morphological characteristics of southern mongoloid that can be used to distinguish northern mongoloid in East Asia? Since when they were separated?
