记者从中国科学院地质与地球物理研究所获悉，通过系统分析一项针对长江下游地区上千个考古遗址的 年代数据，中国科学院地质与地球物理研究所环境考古团队联合多家机构发现，在距今1万至3000年的 漫长岁月中，该地区人口规模呈现出清晰的周期性波动。在这一规律的背后，是东亚夏季风变化驱动的 周期性环境变迁与人类社会发展共同作用的结果。 研究团队系统收集并分析了长江下游及邻近沿海地区1008个新石器时代至青铜时代考古遗址的碳-14测 年数据。通过建立高精度的人口动态模型，一个清晰的规律浮出水面：在过去1万年间，该地区的人口 密度并非只有线性增长，而是呈现出显著的扩张与收缩循环，其波动的平均间隔约为500年。从距今约 9700年至3000年间，可识别出14个明确的人口高峰期，其中距今约7200年、5200年、4300年左右的高峰 尤为显著。 是什么驱动了这种周期性的人口波动？进一步深入研究表明，其与东亚夏季风强度的周期性变化密切相 关。 "这是一个关键转折点，标志着当时的社会韧性显著增强。"团队负责人徐德克说，"它为我们理解文明 兴衰与环境变化的关系，以及在当代全球气候变化背景下思考可持续发展路径，提供了宝贵的历史参 照"。 ...
