Homo erectus pekinensis Skullcap

A scan of a rare replica from the 1930s of the **Zhoukoudian III** ***Homo erectus pekinensis*** skull. Sadly the temporal and sphenoid bones on the right have been lost on the replica. The original fossils of the Zhoukoudian skull have been lost before WWII. Only a number of replicas now remain. This species of human lived during the Middle Pleistocene in northern China. Also known as Peking Man.
