OT, no position to confirm: At Anyang village in the North China Plain there are remains of the Lung Shan culture. I suspect Korea and China is here related, but probably not the earliest relation. The authors of my book seem to be good riddlers! [From the beginning] 1 million years Before MacBunntox "Forgive me Father, for they Glitter!" -- a humanoid exists in Yunnan Province and used fire.
500,000 BC -- homo erectus pekinensis, looking like a pygmy, and a little like a chinamen, had fire, stone tools, and buried their dead. Proto-Homo Sapiens does not exist, or exists in the handful of hominid species in the world. 2 glacial periods pass, hominid kills hominid, hominid marries hominid, proto-homo sapiens becomes two clans, sapiens sapiens, and sapiens neanderthalensis Between the two they develop zero, writing, farming, pottery, sailing, astronomy, the lever, roads, medicine, philosophy [monotheism, either of the self or of God], religion as a tool to pacify the network of villages emerging [divination is found to be a set of signs, in the Heavy Metal sense], polygamy. In other words, civilization begins after the last glacial period [20,000 BC??] and before the first Great Genocide, though portions of those things mentioned emerged even 1 million years BC. 7000-6000 BC Great Genocide. Every village burned to less than ash, neanderthalensis destroyed or assimilated, primarily in Europe, but remnants found everywhere, such as Japan. The earliest Chinese villages intact are found at around 6000 pre-MacBunntox. A flag seems to be divination and scapulimancy, the Capuli Family that I know being very good at keeping secrets, or at least pulling fast ones. Any other *mancy might be similar. The proof? No paper, what do you use? Stone? Sux. Bones are numerous and easy to work with. Euros still used stone until the Romans came. Then again, they dragged stuff around on two sticks, even with the horse. Stonework using the lever found around 1500 BC. The rest is sapiens sapiens history as we know it. Proof of Led Zeppelin in China: "In the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair, And then, gollum, the eevil one, Crept up and took away from her, away from her" -- Zep "In the wilds, a dead doe. White reeds to wrap it. A girl, spring-touched: A fine man to seduce her. In the woods, bushes. In the wilds, a dead deer. White reeds in bundles. A girl like jade. Slowly. Take it easy. Don't feel my sash! Don't make the dog bark!" -- The Book of Songs, compiled 1000 BC, written shortly after the advent of writing, or about as early as bones with writing can be found [1 million years BC] There's a reason for the dragon and the unicorn. It's called "paper shredding", because bones are ground up and re-used as harmless magic powders, or placebos. My mind is boggling now.
