The discovery of Beijingers provides a lot of convincing evidence for the origin of human beings. A large number of facts show that "Beijingers" lived from 500,000 years ago to 200,000 years ago, belonging to primitive humans in the middle stage of the evolution from ancient apes to Homo sapiens. This discovery is of great value in the study of biology, history and the history of human development. From 65438 to 0987, Zhoukoudian Peking Man Site became a world cultural heritage.
Characteristics of Zhoukoudian Peking Man Site
Zhoukoudian site has been excavated intermittently for more than 80 years, and scientific research is still in progress. The first site has been excavated for more than 40 meters, but it is less than half of the accumulation in the cave. The number of ape-man fossils, stone tools and mammal fossils unearthed in Zhoukoudian Beijing ape-man site and the richness of fire remains are incomparable to other sites of the same era.
Tens of thousands of stone products have also been unearthed in the site, and the raw materials are all from the vicinity of the site. Stone products are mostly small vessels, and there are many kinds of vessels. Early stone tools were relatively thick, and chopping tools occupied an important position.
