HALABELLA | The Missing Peking Man Fossils @halabella6 | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Peking Man or sometimes called Beijing Man, is a prominent example of Homo erectus, an extinct species of the genus to which modern humans also belong.What’s interesting about it is that the name Peking man is a collective term for fossils of about 40 individualsfound at Zhoukoudian near Beijing in the 1920s and early 1930s, by an international team of researchers working at a laboratory in Peking.
Peking man was identified as a member of the human lineage by Davidson Black in 1927 on the basis of a single tooth.Later excavations yielded several skullcaps and mandibles, facial and limb bones, and the teeth of about 40 individuals. These fossils date to about 770,000 to 230,000 years ago and before being assigned to Homo erectus, they were variously classified as Pithecanthropus and Sinanthropus pekinensis.
