摘　　要：西方人文社会科学家认为,中国古人类学的"多地区连续进化说"是一种意识形态研究,目的在于虚构和想象中华民族的久远历史与当下认同,以致于沦为一种民族-国家建构的官方工具,从而达成对其"去客观化"和"去科学化"的目的。本文对其产生与发展的脉络简要考察后发现,这一学说完全建立在现有出土化石基础上,而且是中外数代古人类学家百年努力的结果。文章最后指出,认为"多地区连续进化说"含有民族主义话语实际上是一种西方对东方的想象。Western humanists and sociologists think that the Muhiregional theory of Chinese paleoanthropology belongs to a kind of ideology study, which had imaged and constructed Chinese remote history and contemporary identity , so that it had became an official implement of nation-state construction. In their opinion, Chinese paleoanthropology is de-objective and non-science. After examining the process of its birth and development, this paper hold the view that the Muhiregional theory of Chinese paleoanthropology is based on plenty of fossils, and it is a result that Chinese paleoanthropologists associated with the other countries paleoanthropologists in study. Finally, it is concluded that the view, which there is the discourse of nationalism in the Muhiregional theory of Chinese paleoanthropology, is a kind of image of the western about China.
