Oh, pleeeze, here you go again!

PEKING MAN only existed in written form for decades! The original bones were LOST to any modern forensic analysis as to where they came from or how they got there, and knowing they came from a trash pit to being with, you have NO IDEA what fits with what in the first place!

You have NO IDEA how many animals bones are mixed up in that ashheap, you have NO IDEA just what it looked like, yet you demand to call it science!

Next thing, you’ll be telling me flogiston still exists!

Photographs had been taken. (Even xrays.) Casts had been made and distributed to scientists all around the world. More material was found at the same site after the war. (Included part of skull cap that mated with the cast of a peice from the lost material.) And in any case we have other asian Homo erectus from other sites.

But, despite the photos, casts, xrays, measurements and post war fossils, we just have NO IDEA. NO IDEA at all.

BTW, I recall hearing this past spring that the original Peking Man casts produced in the 1930s are being digitized and reproduced using the latest and most advanced virtual imaging and 3-D printing techinques.
