The eastern part of the boundary between Palearctic and Oriental realms occurs in China, which corresponds approximately with the physical topography along the Qinling Mountain and Huaihe River; whereas the boundary is not always a clear-cut; most of the time, it was a transition zone instead.During the past decades in China, most of the important finds of ancient human remains associated with rich mammalian fossils were from the Transition Zone, such as the Bailongdong, Hexian, Yunxian, Longyadong, Tangshan at Nanjing and Hualongdong.Concerning the question why the Transition Zone concentrated so many ancient human remains, there should be two answers: it can be attributed to the suitable environment for human inhabitation during Pleistocene or it’s just because of a good post-mortem condition for fossil preservation.
