	Creationist Arguments: Peking Man (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Creationists often claim that the Peking Man fossils are the remains of apes or monkeys eaten by real humans; that the original fossils may have been disposed of to conceal the evidence of fraud; that only models of the fossils remain; and that they are distorted to fit evolutionist preconceptions.
		Boule and Vallois state that Peking Man has "physical characters intermediate between the group of Anthropoid Apes and the group of Hominians", and that there are many characters of the skull "which, if they do not yet conform exactly to the human morphological type, are singularly close to it".
		O'Connell claimed that Peking Man was a large scale fraud, which presumably would have had to involve most of the people working with the fossils, and that the fossils may have been deliberately destroyed to remove the evidence.

	Peking
		The destruction of Peking started in the 1950s, when all the pailous that spanned the main thoroughfares of the old city were eliminated.
		Here it must be noted that Peking was not an ordinary city born of the meeting of various economic, demographic, and geographical factors.
		The life of Peking, which created never-ending theater in its streets and squares, the noisy and enjoyable life of the city has gone, leaving only the physical presence of a mute and monochromatic crowd, oppressed by a silence broken only by the tinkle of bicycle bells.

		What a lamentable episode Peking Duck brought on the perception the West was, and is unrepentant of the misdeeds against China.

	Chow: Good Old Peking (April 18 - April 24, 1996)
		Definitely try the soups at Old Peking, with my particular favorites being the sweet-and-sour and won ton, both of which are delicately flavored yet satisfying.
		Still sensational at Old Peking was the moo-shu, a medley of vegetables cooked to crisp-tender perfection and then scooped into mandarin pancakes with the requisite plum sauce added.
		Also, though twice-cooked pork is supposed to be one of Old Peking's hot and spicy dishes, I found it only slightly warming on the palate, a mild disappointment for someone who's exceedingly fond of spicy food.

		MY REVIEW: The peking duck was awsome, if you haven't tried it yet you really should when you have a chance.And when you do just dash to eat it when there are still some left.

	Mighty Peking Man strikes Again
		"Mighty Peking Man" (released in the U.S. in a shorter version as "Goliathon") was originally created to cash in on Dino DiLaurentis' "King Kong" remake and was shot on the cheap in 1977 by Hong Kong exploitation producers, the Shaw brothers.
		Craft's sudden renewed fame and a boat load of fortune cookies, "Mighty Peking Man" is still a harder film to market than, for example, "The Beyond" with its already built-in Italian horror fan-base, says Cowboy Vice-President John Vanco.
		Opening weekend grosses for "Peking Man" did not show the same enthusiastic response that "The Beyond" got, a virtual sell-out at many of its venues.

	Scavenging of "Peking Man"
		A trained anatomist and medical doctor, he concluded that some of the skulls showed signs of trauma, including scars and fresh injuries from attacks with both blunt and sharp instruments, such as clubs and stone tools.
		During the 1930s, excavators dug down through the hundred-foot-thick deposits that contained the remains of "Peking man." The deposits, which also yielded animal bones, stone tools, and layers of ash, had completely filled an ancient cave.
		The answer was suggested by the remains of the most common and complete animal skeletons in the cave deposit: those of the giant hyena, Pachycrocuta brevirostris.
