Homo erectus Skull Peking Man BH-005 300,000 to 600,000 YA. The Homo erectus Skull Peking Man is also known as Pithecanthropus pekinensis (Sinathropus). The original reconstruction was prepared by Dr. F. Weidenreich and Mrs. Lucille Swan in 1937 from the fossil remains of several different individuals found in the caves at Zhoukoudian, China. The skull is somewhat unique in that a rare metopic suture is present along the mid-line of the frontal bone. The re-creation offered here is based on a more recent reconstruction by Sawyer and Tattersall of the American Museum of Natural History. In Sawyer's and Tattersall's reconstruction, the jaw is more massive based on males, while the original was based on females. Cranial capacity averages about 1050 cc. The skull has a large brow ridge and a ridge of bone on the back of the skull. Custom Display Stand available below. More About The Bone Clones® Hominid Series
