  Nanjing ape "successful recovery Hulu Cave, Tangshan, Nanjing and Beijing Zhoukoudian site of an earlier hominid
  About 50 million years ago, the "Nanjing Ape Man" a successful recovery from the head of Mr. Wu Xinzhi was informed by Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing Tangshan Homo erectus found in the 10th anniversary of the eve of the long-awaited "Nanjing Man" has been recently restored as scientists on the basis of research in Beijing, Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, successful recovery.
  According to Academician Wu X Z., the multi-disciplinary expert system, a comprehensive system reveals the Hulu Cave, Nanjing Tangshan Man Site at the geography and geology background, Nanjing Homo erectus 1, the 2nd and the associated skull mammals, spores and pollen, phytolith causes of the evolution of fossil and cave, and thermal ionization mass spectrometry with stalagmites and racemic amino acids in mammalian teeth fossils dating data to clarify the Nanjing Homo erectus living environment and age. The experts agreed that the Nanjing Homo erectus and its associated mammal fauna of the nature of the age of Homo erectus and Beijing (Peking Man) and its associated group of mammals is similar to Hulu Cave, Tangshan, Nanjing and Beijing Zhoukoudian site belong to the same period of the first ancient human sites. In research based on the experts, Wu X Z. Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, an engineer, successful recovery of Nanjing Homo erectus on the 1st picture of the head. Wu X Z. fellow, a famous paleoanthropologist Wu RK, Li Xing College who have made a special trip to Nanjing and other carefully observed, measured, "Nanjing Man" skull, and returned to Beijing-depth study of modeling. He also specifically to twice. The experts found that the skull is restored, No. l Nanjing skull is a 21 - 35-year-old middle-aged women may be suffering from periostitis lifetime. She has many of Beijing morphological characteristics of Homo erectus, and with different times of ancient human fossils in China has a genetic link. Interestingly, the No. 1 high-rise bridge of the nose and maxillary skull frontal process of other human fossils in China is rare, while in Europe there are more human fossils, suggesting that the "Nanjing Man" in the evolutionary process may have been outside the area with the ancient human hybrid phenomenon.
  Nanjing No. 2 is a prime male skull, Homo erectus to Homo sapiens in the transition phase. 2 skulls on the sagittal eminence frontal low and wide, but also with European and African Homo erectus and early Homo sapiens similar. Experts believe that the Nanjing No. 1, the 2nd row of ancient human skull in China with Hybridization and the origin of modern multi-regional hypothesis, provides important new fossil evidence.
  The experts also use thermal ionization mass spectrometry dating and other scientific and technological means, suggesting that the climate was dry and cold Tangshan, the Yangtze River in winter the ancient ice, Nanjing ape living in the Pleistocene ice age. According to the growth of stalagmite cave flowstone dating age and that accumulation from Hulu Cave, dating back 50 million years ago, dating back 10 million years ago, the hole was closed. Therefore, the "Nanjing Man" skull has solved the mystery of the age, l No. Nanjing 50 years ago, the skull is about the age of 2, the skull about 24 million years ago.
