The species were originally described as Sinanthropus pekinensis.

Peking Man�Sinanthropus pekinensis�was the paleontological sensation of the 1920s.

He made his reputation in 1929 when he discovered the skull of Sinanthropus, the Peking man, who lived half a million years ago.

The late Dr. Davidson Black, who was in charge of the Choukoutien site when the Sinanthropus find was made, noticed how much the skull resembled that of the Java Man.

Subsequently, one Sinanthropus find after another was made at Choukoutien, and the old Peking Man's anatomy came to be fairly well known.
