Most of the study on these fossils was done by Davidson Black until his death in 1934. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin took over until Franz Weidenreich replaced him and studied the fossils until he left China in 1941. The original fossils disappeared in 1941 during World War II, but excellent casts and descriptions remain.

Swedish geologist Johan Gunnar Andersson and American palaeontologist Walter W. Granger came to Zhoukoudian, China in search of prehistoric fossils in 1921. They were directed to the site at Dragon Bone Hill by local quarrymen, where Andersson recognised deposits of quartz that were not native to the area. Immediately realising the importance of this find he turned to his colleague and announced, "Here is primitive man; now all we have to do is find him!"
Excavation work was begun immediately by Andersson's assistant Austrian palaeontologist Otto Zdansky, who found what appeared to be a fossilised human molar. He returned to the site in 1923, and materials excavated in the two subsequent digs were sent to Uppsala University in Sweden for analysis. In 1926 Andersson announced the discovery of two human molars in this material, and Zdansky published his findings.
Canadian anatomist Davidson Black of Peking Union Medical College, excited by Andersson and Zdansky’s find, secured funding from the Rockefeller Foundation and recommenced excavations at the site in 1927 with both Western and Chinese scientists. Swedish palaeontologist Anders Birger Bohlin unearthed a tooth that fall, and Black placed it in a gold locket on his watch chain.
Black published his analysis in the journal Nature, identifying his find as belonging to a new species and genus which he named Sinanthropus pekinensis, but many fellow scientists were skeptical about such an identification on the basis of a single tooth, and the foundation demanded more specimens before it grant additional money.
A lower jaw, several teeth, and skull fragments were unearthed in 1928. Black presented these finds to the foundation and was rewarded with an $80,000 grant that he used to establish the Cenozoic Research Laboratory.
Excavations at the site under the supervision of Chinese archaeologists Yang Zhongjian, Pei Wenzhong, and Jia Lanpo uncovered 200 human fossils (including six nearly complete skullcaps) from more than 40 individual specimens. These excavations came to an end in 1937 with the Japanese invasion.
Fossils of Peking Man were placed in the safe at the Cenozoic Research Laboratory of the Peking Union Medical College. Eventually, in November 1941, secretary Hu Chengzi packed the fossils so that they could be sent to USA for safekeeping until the end of the war. The fossils vanished en route to the port city of Qinhuangdao in northern China.
There are various theories about the fate of the bones. One theory states that the bones sank with the Japanese ship, Awa Maru, in 1945. Three of the teeth can, however, be found at the Paleontological Museum of Uppsala University.

CT scans would also allow us to peer inside the skulls. The middle ear's shape could tell us about Peking Man's ability to discriminate between frequencies relevant for spoken language. While this doesn't prove they had language, it would suggest they had one of the right adaptations, and help to pinpoint when human language emerged. The Peking Man, then, remains one of science's most important missing persons.

 & FRAUD
The Piltdown man fraud significantly affected early research on human evolution. Notably, it led scientists down a blind alley in the belief that the human brain expanded in size before the jaw adapted to new types of food. Discoveries of Australopithecine fossils such as the Taung child found by Raymond Dart during the 1920s in South Africa were ignored due to the support for Piltdown man as "the missing link", and the reconstruction of human evolution was confused for decades. The examination and debate over Piltdown man caused a vast expenditure of time and effort on the fossil, with an estimated 250+ papers written on the topic.
The fossil was introduced as evidence by Clarence Darrow in defense of John Scopes during the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial. Darrow died in 1938, fifteen years before Piltdown Man was exposed as a fraud.
The hoax is often cited (along with Nebraska Man) by creationists as an example of the dishonesty of paleontologists that study human evolution, despite the fact that scientists themselves had exposed the hoax.
In November 2003, the Natural History Museum in London held an exhibition to mark the 50th anniversary of its exposure
Site: The famous Peking Man skull went missing after in 1941 when it was being transported to the U.S. from China during WWII. Scientists have revisited the site to discover more details about our ancient ancestor

Fr. de Chardin
is the progenator and agent of the Vatican for implementation of Liberation Theology
and a single Gaia based religion worldwide to the exclusion of all others, and that
Fr. de Chardin promulgated the rise of Mao Tse-tung in China from 1929 in coordination with
Fr. Pedro de Arrupe de Gondra then of Nagasaki Japan, who both after the War
were deployed by the Vatican, Fr. Arrupe to Rome and Fr. de Chardin to the New York
Province of the Society of Jesus under Cardinal Spellman and
Fr. Vincent O’Keefe S.J. of Fordham University.
(niet zo duideluk waar dit vandaan komt)
fait divers:
. C'est le père Teilhard de Chardin en personne qui intervient directement auprès de Tchang Kaï-Chek pour que celui-ci donne l'ordre de laisser passer les Français. A l'ombre de la grande muraille, le convoi s'ébranle enfin...
