Peking Man is a subspecies of H. erectus which inhabited what is now northern China during the Chibanian. Its fossils have been found in a cave some 47 km (29 mi) southwest of Beijing, known as the Zhoukoudian Peking Man Site. The first fossil, a tooth, was discovered in 1921, and Zhoukoudian has since become the most productive H. erectus site in the world. Peking Man was instrumental in the foundation of Chinese anthropology, and fostered an important dialogue between Western and Eastern science for decades. The fossils became the centre of anthropological discussion, and were classified as a direct human ancestor, propping up the Out of Asia theory that humans evolved in Asia.
