摘要

1929年12月,第一个北京人头骨的原位发现,是地质学和古人类学中一个引人注目的历史事件。两张标志性的照片广泛出现在关于北京人的书中,它们展示了一群中国和西方地质学家在北京附近周口店的房车里。这些照片长期存在的不一致、不确定性和缺乏背景的问题,通过使用已发表的作品以及中国第一位脊椎动物古生物学家杨忠建博士(1897–1979;C.C.Young)收藏的照片中的线索来解决。论文确定了这些照片的年份、它们与其他照片的联系、其中一张照片中一个高个子的身份,以及活动的确切日期和场合。讨论了周口店团队的中西互动,并展示了杨和西方科学家(包括Davidson Black(1884–1934))之间未发表的信件,以个人的方式触摸围绕北京人发现的历史背景。

ICONIC PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ZHOUKOUDIAN TEAM AND CHINESE-WESTERN INTERACTION SURROUNDING THE PEKING MAN DISCOVERY
The in situ discovery of the first Peking Man skull in December 1929 was a dramatic historical event in geology and paleoanthropology. Two iconic photographs appear widely in books on Peking Man (formerly Sinanthropus pekinensis), and they show a group of Chinese and Western geologists inside a caravansary at Zhoukoudian (Choukoutien) near Beijing. Long-standing issues of inconsistencies, uncertainties and lack of context regarding these photographs are addressed by using clues from published works as well as from photographs in the collection of China’s first vertebrate paleontologist Dr. Yang Zhongjian (1897–1979; C. C. Young). The paper determines the year of the photographs, their connection to other photographs, the identity of a tall man in one of the photographs, and the exact date and occasion of the event. Chinese-Western interaction of the Zhoukoudian team is discussed, and unpublished letters between Yang and Western scientists including Davidson Black (1884–1934) are presented to give a personal touch to the historical context surrounding the Peking Man discovery.
