Peking Man”, discovered in the 1920s by an international team of scientists and miners, was deemed powerful evidence of human evolution. After the communist revolution of 1949, Peking Man also became Exhibit A in the movement to bring science to the masses. Even Mao's populist commitment to mass participation in science, however, could not erase the capacity of popular culture - represented most strikingly in legends about the Bigfoot-like Wild Man - to reshape ideas about human nature.
In this elegant and persuasive account of paleo-anthropologic development in China, Sigrid Schmalzer rewrites our understanding of the relationship between Chinese social, scientific and political cultures. She shows the ways that the emergence of the modern Chinese state rested on both scientific developments in the area of paleo-anthropology, and the ways that they were deployed to combat long-standing popular superstitions in service of new political realities. Her book successfully places Darwinian concepts in the context of popular political history and the developing Chinese nation-state, and thereby makes a valuable contribution to the knowledge and development of the human sciences in China and beyond.

有意思的書，特彆是關於科學教育
评分"reexamine science in the Cultural Revolution by taking seriously one of the stated goals of the time, the promotion of popular science”
评分其實舒喜樂醉翁之意不在“北京人”和“野人”，而在於“科普”：既然民眾是智慧源泉，又如何被貼上迷信落後的標簽，以至於需要補科學的課？全書看下來，足見恩格斯《勞動在從猿到人轉變過程中的作用》在社會主義中國的深遠影響。反諷的是當人文、人道、人性、人權等等在人文學科領域被禁止談論時，科學界卻在忙著用恩格斯的“勞動創造瞭人”來定義、建構人的身份。北京人和民族主義情緒、認祖歸宗情結的共謀；尋找、再現野人是用科學的方法來闡釋神秘事物的一種努力（杜贊奇有一篇談民國時期破除迷信運動的論文，尤為深刻，可參考）。值得深思的是當下所謂的“民科”和科學普及的關係、人類和獸類之間的邊界和逾越（中西不同語境）。
评分我相信《紅綠革命》得奬是給這本書沒得奬的補償
