Classic Homo erectus fossils in Zhoukoudian caves are more than 700,000 years old. Researchers have sifted the sands of time to show that Homo erectus lived at China's most famous anthropology site at least 250,000 years earlier than was thought. The new date means that this early human ancestor — the first lineage to migrate out of Africa — prospered in an earlier, colder climate, and its physical development in China matched that in Africa, where the species first evolved.
