Written by anthropologist Harry L. Shapiro, the book recounts the excavation of the fossil remains known as \u003cem\u003ePeking Man\u003c\/em\u003e at Zhoukoudian during the 1920s and 1930s. Shapiro explains the scientific significance of these fossils—now classified as Homo erectus—and discusses what they revealed about early human evolution, including evidence of tool use, fire, and prehistoric life in northern China. The narrative also tells the dramatic story of the fossils' disappearance during World War II, when the original specimens vanished while being transported for safekeeping and have never been recovered. Written for a general audience, \u003cem\u003ePeking Man\u003c\/em\u003e combines the excitement of archaeological discovery with a clear explanation of human origins, highlighting both the scientific importance of the finds and the enduring mystery surrounding their loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI','sans-serif'; color: #1f2124;\"\u003eThis item is second-hand and is sold as is.
