藏族生物人类学研究回顾

藏族生活在具有世界屋脊之称的青藏高原,特殊的生态环境和特殊的文化背景造就了藏族特殊的适应高原缺氧机制和体质特征,引起了国内外学者的广泛关注和浓厚的研究兴趣。本文从国内外数据库收集了492篇国内外杂志发表的关于藏族人类学研究方面的论文。通过统计、分析并结合我们的工作,初步回顾了30年藏族人类学研究,重点分析了藏族与汉族的族源关系。这些文献显示,从体质特征、血型、分子生物学和考古材料等方面都证明藏族是中华民族大家庭中不可缺少的的一员。本文最后展望了藏族生物人类学今后的发展。

Preliminary Review of the Biological Anthropology Trait of Tibetan Peoples

Tibetan peoples who live in the Tibetan Plateau (known as the roof of the world) occupy a unique ecology that gives them special adaptive mechanisms to survive hypoxia-based environments. This research examined 492 publications on Tibetan anthropology in both Chinese and English languages, in particular anthroplological studies of the past 30 years focussing on the relationship between Tibetan and Han peoples. Scientific evidence from anthropometry, blood groups, molecular biology and archaeology etc. indicate that Tibetan peoples are an indispensible member of the Chinese nation.
