关于古代美洲的发现问题,国内外学术界争论由来已久。与传统的哥伦布发现美洲大陆说相悖,有人提出最先到达(或者发现)美洲者应为中国先民。但这一新说在国内外学术界引起怀疑和反诘甚多,当有待于提供更翔实的材料加以证实。本文仅从古代中国和古代美洲的一些文化遗存的亲缘关系加以比较,试图探索二者之间的联系渊源。 On the discovery of ancient Americas, the debate in academia at home and abroad has been going on for a long time. Contrary to the discovery of the American continent by the traditional Columbus, it was suggested that the first person to arrive (or discover) the Americas should be an ancestor of China. However, this new remark has caused a lot of doubts and repercussions in the academic circles both at home and abroad, and it needs to be confirmed when more detailed materials are to be provided. This article only compares the genetic relationship of some cultural relics in ancient China and ancient America, trying to explore the connection between the two.
