智人大约在4万年前就出现在北方亚洲，在经历了早期的人口扩张和杂交之后，他们取代了欧亚大陆的古老人口。最后的尼安德特人、丹尼索瓦人和新来的H.智人进入亚洲仍然是未知的，，-。在这里，我们描述了下马背，一个保存完好的，大约有40,000年历史的考古遗址在北方中国，其中包括最早的已知的赭石加工功能在东亚，一个独特的小型石器组合与刀片状工具，带有轴的痕迹，和一个骨工具。在下马背的文化组合的特征是东亚独特的，并不对应于那些在其他考古遗址组合居住的古代人口或那些通常与H的扩张。智人，如旧石器时代初期，-。北方的记录支持了人类杂交和混合时期出现的技术创新和文化多样化的过程。
Homo sapienswas present in northern Asia by around 40,000 years ago, having replaced archaic populations across Eurasia after episodes of earlier population expansions and interbreeding, , –. Cultural adaptations of the last Neanderthals, the Denisovans and the incoming populations ofH. sapiensinto Asia remain unknown,, –. Here we describe Xiamabei, a well-preserved, approximately 40,000-year-old archaeological site in northern China, which includes the earliest known ochre-processing feature in east Asia, a distinctive miniaturized lithic assemblage with bladelet-like tools bearing traces of hafting, and a bone tool. The cultural assembly of traits at Xiamabei is unique for Eastern Asia and does not correspond with those found at other archaeological site assemblages inhabited by archaic populations or those generally associated with the expansion ofH. sapiens, such as the Initial Upper Palaeolithic, –. The record of northern Asia supports a process of technological innovations and cultural diversification emerging in a period of hominin hybridization and admixture,,,.
