The Peking Man Site, China
Description
Scientific work at the site 26 miles southwest of Beijing is still underway. So far, it has led to the discovery of the remains of Sinanthropus pekinensis, who lived in the middle Pleistocene era, along with various objects, and the remains of Homo sapiens sapiens, dating as far back as 18,000 to 11,000 B.C. The site is not only an exceptional reminder of the human societies of the Asian continent very long ago, but also illustrates the process of evolution.
