Peking Man, or Homo Erectus Pekinensis, is a significant example of Homo Erectus and a key piece of human evolutionary history. The remains of Peking Man were discovered at the Zhoukoudian Site near Beijing, which has become a crucial archaeological site for studying ancient human life. Visitors can explore this rich history at the site's museum, which showcases the fossils and artifacts uncovered over decades of excavations, providing a window into the lives of our ancestors from hundreds of thousands of years ago. In 2009, the finds were dated from roughly 750,000 years ago, and a new dating suggests they are in the range of 680,000 - 780,000 years old.
