This excavation at Zhoukoudian, estimated to be 500,000–690,000 years old, constituted one of the major chapters in modern paleontology, since it was the first evidence that early man (Homo erectus) might have evolved in Asia as well as Africa.
In the hills and caves of Zhoukoudian archaeologists found the skull of a new ancestral link to mankind, Homo erectus pekinensis — Peking Man.
However, they also note that the skull, which probably belonged to a man in his 20s, has a high, humanlike forehead, not the sloping kind typical of Homo erectus and other early hominids.
"It's not like any other Homo erectus we know from Indonesia or anywhere else," said Dr. Eric Delson, the City College of New York paleoanthropologist directing the investigation.
Paleoanthropologists examining the skull have traced its origins to Indonesia and presume it to be that of a Homo erectus.
