  Peking Man was discovered in Zhoukoudian village, on theLonggu Mountain, Fangshan district, Beijing, which was listed asa world cultural heritage site in 1987. In the 1920sarchaeologists discovered a complete skull of an ape-man datingback 600,000 years which was later named as Peking Man.Stone tools and evidence of Peking Man's use of fire were laterfound on the mountain. Studies have shown that Peking Manwalked on his feet and lived 690,000 years ago. His society livedin groups in caves and survived by hunting. The group could make use of rough stone tools andknew how to use fire for heating and cooking.

  The discovery included six complete skulls of Peking Man, 12 skull fragments, 15 mandibles(1), 157teeth and some sections of broken femur(2), shinbone(3), and upper arm bones belonging tomore than 40 individuals of different ages and sexes. In addition 100,000 fragments of stone toolswere found together with sites used for fire and burnt bones and stones.

  Peking Man created a unique Old Stone Culture which had much influence to the Old Stone Cultureof north China. Stone tools are the principal relics of this remote culture. Also discovered inZhoukoudian are stone points, a new production tool then, and bone articles made and used byPeking Man. Found in the caves were such tools as the larger end of an antler that had been usedas a hammer and the sharp end of an antler used as a digging tool.

  The use of fire was a milestone of the development of civilization and the discovery of Peking Manhas pushed back the time that man first used it by tens of thousands of years. The largest ash pilediscovered in the caves is six meters thick. Fire allowed people to eat cooked food instead of rawfood and promoted the development of the brain and improved health. With his rough tools andsimple living conditions Peking man created a unique and very ancient culture.

  Included in the UNESCO(4) world heritage list in 1987.
