The Story of Peking Man by Jia Lanpo

The discovery at Zhoukoudian in 1929 of the fossilized remains of Peking Man is probably one of the most significant events in modern archaeology. This account of the excavation by Jia Lanpo, one of the few remaining survivors of the dig, traces the story from the actual discovery, through the mysterious disappearance of the fossils, to the results of the very latest paleoanthropical research. The book should be of interest to archaeologists and anthropologists as well as general readers with an interest in these subjects.
