Wangfujing Paleolithic MuseumⅥ

There is no question humans were active here, but it appears the exposed plains were a temporary campsite for hunting parties, rather than a long-term abode for Peking Man. While it appears the painters often lost themselves in whimsy when recreating their vision of Peking Man's lifestyle, their portrayals of him living alongside what Li claims is the "ancient Beijing ostrich" appears to have some credence – the museum's the eggshell fragments to prove it.

The museum is good for a half-hour visit but the amateurish paintings and shabby plaster replicas of Peking Man are amusing for mostly the wrong reasons. Volunteer guides of the Beijing Museum of Natural History Gao Yuan, a student, and Chen Xiaowei, a high school teacher, seem to acknowledge this.
