Description :
This study is based on a comparative analysis of the environmental evolution information recorded in the Qinghai Lake, the western edge of the Loess Plateau and Zoige and the spatial distribution of Neolithic sites of the Gansu-Qinghai region. Results and discussion. The climate change in the early, middle and late periods of the Holocene Megathermal was consistent which the development of Neolithic cultures in the Gansu-Qinghai region, which well explains the evolution of man-land relationship in the Neolithic age.
