Abstract: Liu and Chen《the Archaeology of China: From the Late Paleolithic to the Early Bronze Age》systematically reviewed the new archeological discoveries within the China. It first introduced e natural environment of China and the relationship between ever-changing ecosystems and human responses and adaptations. Then it summarized the findings of different regions from early Neolithic periods to the end of Shang and the possible explanations why Chinese civilization evolved in this way. Inspired by cultural evolution framework of Henrich, we propose three cultural psychological characteristics which includes associative thinking and respect Oracle and nepotism. Furthermore, we speculate these characteristics is originated and transmitted unintentionally from the Saman-Sorcerer of early sedentary agriculture thriving for their social ranking within the settlement and summarize the evidences of this book and authors follow-up works.
