There are 56 officially recognized ethnic groups in China. The largest is the Han Chinese, who make up most of the population. Throughout history many groups have assimilated with others or disappeared. The term Zhonghua minzu describes Chinese nationalism in general. Most Chinese speak Mandarin, though there are many languages among the ethnic groups.

Homo erectus developed more complex tools like hand axes and sharpened sticks, and Homo sapiens created projectile weapons like spears and harpoons for hunting as well as basic stone tools. Cro-Magnon humans were more advanced, inventing fishing nets, sewing, painting, and the bow and arrow. Modern humans continue developing new tools using diverse materials and technologies.

Brashier's book "Ancestral Memory in Early China" which analyzes the development of ancestral cult worship in China during the Han dynasty (202 BCE - 220 CE).
