- Summary
- "In the 1920s, on a hill near Beijing, a multi-national team discovered a large cache of human bones, some as much as 500,000 years old. Collectively dubbed "Peking Man," the fossils were one of the most important finds in the history of paleontology, and they generated enormous excitement. Then, as now, evolutionary theory was under attack by supporters of "creationism, "and scientists around the world were frantic to discover the so called Missing Link, the fossil evidence that would prove Darwin right"--Publisher marketing.
