The materials studied in this book come mainly from the
Early Pleistocene Bajiazui fauna in Qingyang County and the Late Pleistocene
Loufangzi fauna in Huanxian County, Gansu Province, and partially from
other localities. By way of the research to the Chinese fossils of the
genus Equus, some new conclusions on the taxonomy, evolution, biostratigraphy,
paleoclimatology, chronology and so on about the genus Equus are achieved,
which gets better knowledge of the Chinese fossils of the genus Equus
and develops applications of mammal fossils on climatic changes. The review
and revision to the Chinese fossils of the genus Equus have important
theoretic significance. The exploration and discussion of climatic changes
on the basis of the genus Equus have effective practical value. |
