BH-005-EC $183.00

300,000 to 600,000 YA. The Homo erectus skull Peking Man is also known as Pithecanthropus pekinensis (Sinanthropus). An example of H. erectus discovered in 1923-27 in Zhoukoudian, near Beijing, China.

We are now offering economy versions of our most popular fossil hominid crania which are designed to give educators affordable, high quality, highly detailed and durable replica fossil hominids for hands-on study. Our resins capture fine details, and unlike materials such as plaster or hydrostone, are lightweight and shatter resistant. They are perfect for introductory level courses in anthropology and evolution.

Due to the presence of animal remains, and evidence of fire and tool usage, Peking Man was originally described as a hunter and the first tool-worker. This interpretation was challenged in 1985, with the proposal that Peking Man be classified as a scavenger. The original specimens were last seen in 1941. They were crated and ship bound, first to northern China, with the intention to continue to the United States Natural History Museum in New York, but the fossils vanished en route.
