Peking Man”, discovered in the 1920s by an international team of scientists and miners, was deemed powerful evidence of human evolution. After the communist revolution of 1949, Peking Man also became Exhibit A in the movement to bring science to the masses. Even Mao's populist commitment to mass participation in science, however, could not erase the capacity of popular culture - represented most strikingly in legends about the Bigfoot-like Wild Man - to reshape ideas about human nature.
In this elegant and persuasive account of paleo-anthropologic development in China, Sigrid Schmalzer rewrites our understanding of the relationship between Chinese social, scientific and political cultures. She shows the ways that the emergence of the modern Chinese state rested on both scientific developments in the area of paleo-anthropology, and the ways that they were deployed to combat long-standing popular superstitions in service of new political realities. Her book successfully places Darwinian concepts in the context of popular political history and the developing Chinese nation-state, and thereby makes a valuable contribution to the knowledge and development of the human sciences in China and beyond.

書是好書，但是未免太過於冗長囉嗦瞭，看到後麵幾章有點乏味。雖然題是北京人，但關注的是科學傳播和意識形態的勾連，北京人僅僅隻是其中一部分。野心足夠，也因為如此閑筆太多。此外由於一些眾所周知的原因，整本書沒有使用很多重要檔案，隻能過多地倚重齣版物和人物訪談，導緻敘述無法觸及科學傳播的上層和底層，實屬無奈之舉。
评分humanity是怎麼被涵擴與共產主義的宣傳話語之中，自上而下的科學普及與自下而上的大衆科學之間有怎樣的緊張關係，又是怎樣在歷史進程、政治變化中呈現的。有意思的一個事情：有書評討論這本書到底爲什麼要在所有的拼音中標上音調。。
评分再好的選題和材料也經不住這麼寫……
评分很有趣的角度，做term paper掃瞭四章，有時間會重讀
