New Clues on Early Man Ancestry From Chinese Fossils
Dr Fran Weidenreich announced two skulls of Sinanthropus Pekinensis found at the Choukoutien site 30 miles southwest of Peiping on November 1. He argues the specimens date about 500000 years ago and support a view that modern humans emerged from ape-like ancestors. The findings compare with Java’s Pithecanthropus Erectus and aim to clarify the nature of Peiping’s ancient people.
