Peking man is thought to have been between 200,000 to 500,000 years old. Peking man was discovered in 1929. Since then, the original bones have been stolen and all that remains are plaster casts.

Scientists believe Peking Man was more advanced than Java Man based on the complexity of tools found at the Peking Man site, evidence of controlled fire use, and indications of cooperation and social organization among Peking Man individuals. These factors suggest a more developed level of cognitive abilities and social behavior compared to Java Man.

Zhoukoudian site in China

Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian is about 30 miles from Beijing. This is where Peking Man fossils were found from a civilization 700,000 years old. It was made a World Heritage Site in 1987 so plans were put in place to preserve the site and continue research on ancient man.
