Peking Man is Homo erectus pekinensis subspecies from Zhoukoudian China 800000-230000 years ago. Fossils represent 40 individuals with robust long low skulls thickened bones and sagittal keels. Brain averaged 1029cc within modern human range. Face protrusive with wide eye sockets robust chinless jaws large shovel-shaped teeth linking to modern Mongoloids. Height averaged 150cm in northern latitudes. Used stone tools including choppers flakes scrapers possibly controlled fire hunted large game. Supported Out-of-Asia theory as direct human ancestor evolving locally in China. Weidenreich argued polycentric evolution with Peking Man ancestral to Mongoloid race. Chinese scientists claim racial continuity via hybridization with modern human ancestors. Contrasts Out-of-Africa consensus viewing Peking Man as Asian offshoot or relict. Shovel-shaped incisors and other traits persist in modern East Asians. Fossils lost in 1941 during Sino-Japanese War likely sunk or ground into medicine. Site yielded over 100000 stone tools and animal bones from steppe forest environment. Northern Chinese H. erectus skulls narrower than other regions suggesting local variation or speciation. Interbred with Denisovans Neanderthals contributing genes to non-Africans. Mao era propaganda hailed Peking Man as Chinese forefather promoting Marxism over superstitions.
