Description :
A comparison is made between the sequence of human fossils found in northern China along with their associated mammalian fossil and the loess-paleosol sequence. It is found that for the last 1200 ka, the flourishing period of the hominid with its associated culture is corresponding to a dominance of the warm-humid summer monsoon (paleosol development).
