During l928 to 1929, two lower jaws and an almost complete skull cap of early human were unearthed along with over 100 other artifacts in a cave near Zhoukoudian village 30 miles to the southwest of Beijing, now named as Peking Man Site. Excavation over the past decades found fragmented bones and teeth belonging to more than 40 members of the Peking Man family, more than 100,000 stone tools, and evidence to the use of fire. It bears unique witness to the human communities of the Asian continent from the Middle Pleistocene to the Late Pleistocene (Paleolithic Age).
