Primitive tribe a group of people in the process of transition from apes to humans. For example, American ethnologist L.H. Morgan said in his book Ancient Society that "human childhood" is in the low stage of ignorance. Translate group, group and primitive group. German is Rudel, and English is horde, which means the distant ancestor group of human beings. This stage was far from Lamarcinopithecus and later Australopithecus about14 million years ago, until the appearance of humans in the early Pleistocene. This kind of emerging people use natural sticks and stones as tools to collect and hunt for a living. In order to resist the attack of poisonous snakes and beasts and natural forces, they must form and use syllable languages in groups. There are no restrictions on sexual relations, marriage norms and family forms. They are not real people yet. Another view holds that the primitive group is a group of real human society, including Homo erectus, and proposes to divide the primitive society into two stages: primitive group and primitive clan society. There is no conclusion in academic circles.

Edit this paragraph according to the stages of China Theory.

According to China's current theory, the primitive people in the history of China (about 6.5438+0.7 million years ago-about 6.5438+10 million years ago) can be divided into: early primitive people (Yuanmou people, Lantian people, Beijingers, Taurus people); The late primitive groups (Maba people, Changyang people and Dingcun people) and primitive groups and their subsequent clan commune period are two stages of primitive society in China (about1.7000 BC-2 1 century).

Primitive man group: Primitive man group is a group in the period of evolution from apes to humans, belonging to a forming group. Engels called it the low stage of obscurantism. At that time, human beings had just left the animal kingdom and lived and migrated in tropical and subtropical forests and lakeside rivers. In order to cope with the very difficult and severe living environment, people have formed a small group of dozens of people, that is, primitive groups, relying on the collective strength to survive. In the primitive group, people gathered together. They prey on insects, hunt wild animals and suck honey. Because of the lack of food sources, even if we get a little, we should share it with primitive people. They use natural sticks or rough stone tools to collect and hunt in groups and lead a mixed life. Their sexual relationship is quite mixed, but the relationship between mother and child is quite clear. Primitive group is the embryonic form of human society and the initial stage of primitive society, which is equivalent to the human social organization in the early and middle paleolithic period. Primitive Modern scientific discoveries and research results show that the survival period of Latin American apes and Australopithecus Australopithecus is the period of the formation and development of the original population, and its experience time is about140 thousand years ago to more than 3 million years ago. The primitive groups represented by Lamarck and Australopithecus (Afa species) are considered by many experts to be the distant ancestors of human beings, that is, the direct ancestors of early humans. Fossils of these two apes were found in Lime Dam in Lufeng, China and Gaoping in Jianshi, Hubei. Their findings show that primitive groups like Lamarck and Australopithecus once existed in China. Man is the most socialized animal among all animals, and one of the most important symbols of human society is socialization, collectivization and organization. The predecessor or embryonic form of the development of human society is a highly developed ape group with certain social instinct. Lamarck and Australopithecus are both such apes. They are in the transitional period from apes to humans, and they are "people in the process of formation". In order to survive, they gather together collectively, work collectively, live collectively, and fight collectively against nature. This collective and interdependent combination constitutes the earliest primitive group, which has some primitive organizational significance. From the perspective of human community organization, this primitive group may be called the earliest embryonic form of human community organization. But strictly speaking, the organization of such societies is not stable, and there are no real organizational principles and articles of association. In group life, only the relationship between mother and child is intimate, so the power of mother plays a certain role. Primitive groups, such as Lamarckian and Australopithecus, have a certain number of widely distributed discoveries (referring to fossil data) all over the world, which constitute a certain development regularity, habit or popularity in objective fact. Therefore, from the perspective of custom, this earliest embryonic form of community organization with unstable organization and no real organizational principles and articles of association should be the predecessor or mother of the birth and formation of real human community organization custom, which can be called the embryonic form of human community custom. As the embryonic form of community organizations and customs, the inevitable result of the development of primitive groups is the birth of real human community organizations and customs.
