Although Zhoukoudian is the most famous Homo erectus site in China, there are other sites. Name two of these sites and give their dates and significance to paleoanthropological research

What will be an ideal response?


Three additional Chinese sites are Lantian County (1.65-1.54 million ya), Hexian County (dating
unclear), and Yunxian County (800,000-580,000 ya). Significance of these sites is that some are
older than Zhoukoudian and they also are potentially different from non-Chinese Homo erectus
sites in that the Yunxian appears to have been a population with limited hunting capabilities.
