The lower cave of the Zhoukoudian cave, China, is one of the most important archaeological sites worldwide.<ref name=":2">Zanolli, Clément, et al. “Inner Tooth Morphology of Homo Erectus from Zhoukoudian. New Evidence from an Old Collection Housed at Uppsala University, Sweden.” ''Journal of Human Evolution'', vol. 116, Mar. 2018, pp. 1–13.</ref> There have been remains of 45 homo erectus individuals found and thousands of tools recovered.<ref name=":2" /> Most of these remains were lost during World War 2, with the exception of two postcranial elements that were rediscovered in China in 1951 and four human teeth from 'Dragon Bone Hill'.<ref name=":2" />

 

New evidence has shown that ''Homo erectus'' does not have uniquely thick vault bones, like what was previously thought.<ref name=":3">Copes, Lynn E., and William H. Kimbel. “Cranial Vault Thickness in Primates: Homo Erectus Does Not Have Uniquely Thick Vault Bones.” ''Journal of Human Evolution'', vol. 90, Jan. 2016, pp. 120–134.</ref> Testing showed that neither Asian or African ''Homo erectus'' had uniquely large vault bones.<ref name=":3" />
