The so-called Peking Man, discovered in 1923-27 at Zhoukoudian, near Beijing, is perhaps the most famous specimen of Homo erectus found in China.
More recently, the finds have been dated from roughly five hundred thousand years ago, although a new 26Al/10Be dating suggests the remains may be as much as six hundred and eighty thousand to seven hundred and eighty thousand years old.
