Description

Book Synopsis
Offers a social history of Chinese paleoanthropology and a cultural - and at times comparative - history of assumptions and debates about what it means to be human. Focusing on issues that push against the boundaries of science and politics, this book offers an innovative approach to modern Chinese history and the history of science.

Trade Review
"This is one of the few books on science in twentieth-century China, a burgeoning area of research, and the first book on popular science in China. The People's Peking Man unquestionably breaks new ground." - Fa-ti Fan, Binghamton University"
