Paleoanthropologists call them Xiacaowan people, also known as Sihong newcomers.

About six or seven thousand years ago, the north and south of the Yangtze River entered the stage of Neolithic prosperity. According to a preliminary investigation, there are about thousands of Neolithic cultural sites in Jiangsu and its adjacent areas.
