Palaeoanthropology: Asian Homo erectus converges in time
Russell L. Ciochon1 & E. Arthur Bettis III2
Abstract
Re-evaluation of the age of Zhoukoudian, a prominent site of Homo erectus occupation in China, prompts a rethink of the species' distribution in both the temperate north and the equatorial south of east Asia.
The Zhoukoudian cave system, discovered in 1918 near the outskirts of modern-day Beijing, is one of the prize sites in palaeoanthropology (Fig. 1).
