How did people get to China?

People first arrived in China during the Lower Paleolithic era. They are believed to have originated from Africa and migrated to China via two routes:

The Southern Route: This route was taken by the majority of people who migrated to China. It involved crossing the land bridges that connected Southeast Asia to China. These land bridges were exposed when the sea levels were lower during the ice age. The migrants who followed this route are believed to have originated from what is now India, Myanmar, and Thailand. They entered China through the southwestern province of Yunnan and gradually spread to other parts of the country.

The Northern Route: A smaller number of people migrated to China via the northern route. This route involved crossing the Bering Strait, which separates Siberia from Alaska. The migrants who followed this route are believed to have originated from what is now Mongolia and Russia. They entered China through the northeastern province of Heilongjiang and gradually spread to other parts of the country.

Over time, the people who migrated to China developed their own distinct cultures and civilizations. They established several dynasties, each of which contributed to the rich history and heritage of China.
