ScienceZhoukoudian: Where early humans once lived

The Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian in Beijing is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Evidence from stone tools and burnt ash suggests that early humans lived there about 700,000 years ago and controlled fire. In 1929, archaeologist Pei Wenzhong found the first complete Peking Man skullcap at the site, strengthening understanding of Homo erectus in human evolution.
