summarize

Shanxi is one of the earliest origin and central areas for the development of human and Chinese civilization. Archaeology shows that in ancient times, the southwest of the mountain is the origin of human dawn. The discovery of the "Century Eosinus" fossil in Yuanqu County, Yuncheng, has pushed forward the time of the emergence of anthropoids by 10 million years. Archeology also shows that the earliest in the early Paleolithic Age about 1.8 million years ago, the primitive people multiplied in the south of Shanxi Province, including the West Houdu cultural site in Ruicheng County, Yuncheng. 2.43 million years ago [66] The discovery of burned bones pushed the history of human fire found in China forward by 1 million years; About 100,000 to 20,000 years ago in the middle Paleolithic Age, on both sides of the Fenhe River in Shanxi Province and around Datong and Shuozhou, there have been relatively concentrated primitive people and villages. Entering the Neolithic Age, about 7000 years ago in the middle of the Neolithic Age, agriculture, animal husbandry and handwork in the south of Shanxi have reached a fairly developed level; About 4,500 years ago in the late Neolithic Age, southern Shanxi had become the center of many states at that time. The history of "Yaodu Pingyang (now Yaodu District, Linfen), Shundu Puban (now southwest of Yongji City, Yuncheng), Yudu Anyi (now northwest of Xia County, Yuncheng)" records the history of the earliest heroes of the Chinese nation in the late Neolithic Age in the lower reaches of the Fenhe River.

After Yu's death in about 2070 BC, his son Qi succeeded him, establishing the Xia Dynasty with the first hereditary clan slavery in Chinese history.
