北京猿人复原头盖骨

(1960年发现的) 北京猿人塑像

Peking Man was discovered in Zhoukoudian village，on the Longgu

Mountain，Fangshan district，Beijing，which was listed as a world

cultural heritage site in 1987.In the 1920s archaeologists

discovered a complete skull of an ape­man dating back 600,000 years

which was later named as Peking Man.Stone tools and evidence of

Peking Man's use of fire were later found on the mountain.Studies

have shown that Peking Man walked on his feet and lived 690,000 years

ago.His society lived in groups in caves and survived by hunting.The

group could make use of rough stone tools and knew how to use fire

for heating and cooking.

The discovery included six complete skulls of Peking Man,12

skull fragments,15 mandibles(下颌骨)，157 teeth and some sections

of broken femurs(大腿骨)，shinbones(胫骨)，and upper arm bones

belonging to more than 40 individuals of different ages and sexes.In

addition 100,000 fragments of stone tools were 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 Culture of North China.Stone tools are 2 the principal relics of this remote culture.Also discovered in

Zhoukoudian are stone points，a new production tool then，and bone

articles made and used by Peking Man.Found in the caves were such

tools as the larger end of an antler(鹿角，茸角) that had been used

as 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 Man has pushed back the

time that man first used it by tens of thousands of years.The largest

ash pile discovered in the caves is six metres thick.Fire allowed

people to eat cooked food instead of raw food and promoted the

development of the brain and improved health.With his rough tools

and simple living conditions，Peking Man created a unique and very

ancient culture.
