Three Little Gorges - - Wusha Man

Homo Erectus, of the early Paleolithic Age, unearthed in Longgupo of Wushan County, Sichuan Province in 1988 was a wonderful discovery. The fossilized remains comprised an incisor, two molars, a mandible and some animal fossils of the Early Pleistocene Era. Thus, it is estimated that Wushan's Homo Erectus lived in the Early Pleistocene Era, about 2,000,000 years ago. In comparison to Beijing Man, Wushan's Homo Erectus bore many similarities to modern humans. For example, their teeth resembled those of modern humans, although they were much stronger, although not as strong as those of Beijing Man.

Wushan Man is so old that Helen Thomas was his den mother when he was in the Cub Scouts.

I am shocked, shocked, to find that no-one has yet posted a picture of Helen Thomas on this thread.
