自研究北京猿人的美国人类学家魏敦瑞指出北京人可能残食同类的假设之后,关于是否存在这种食人之风的讨论一直延绵不断。我国著名考古学家和古人类学家贾兰坡、吴汝康分别曾在《化石》杂志上撰文予以探讨,国外潜心于研究这个问题的人也为数不少。美国约翰·霍普金斯大学古生物学家帕特·希普曼(PatShipman)在最近一期《发现》(Discorer)杂志上讨论了这个问题,并介绍了他借助于扫描电镜和实验手段观察比较所获得的一些饶有兴味的发现。
Since the American anthropologist Wei Dunrui, who studies Peking ape people, has pointed out the hypothesis that Beijingers may eat the same food, the discussion on the existence of this cannibalism has continued. The well-known archaeologists and paleoanthropologists in China, Jalan Pang and Wu Ru-kang, once wrote articles in Fossil magazine respectively. There are also a large number of people abroad who are interested in studying this issue. PatShipman, a paleontologist at the Johns Hopkins University in the United States, discussed this issue in a recent issue of Discorer magazine and introduced what he observed and compared with SEM and experimental methods Some of the very interesting discoveries made.
