    The first complete skull of “Beijing Ape Men” of Zhoukoudian was discovered in December 1929 by Pei Wenzhong, a Chinese anthropologist. Later, large-scale excavations were done on several occasions,  amounting to 25, 000 cubic meters of earthwork. Fossils of men and vertebrates were found. Of men fossils alone, a total of 152 pieces were uncovered of skulls, fragments of skulls, facial bones, lower jawbones and teeth belonging to over 40 individuals of different ages and sexes.
