Why do Peking man's skull fossils have no face?
In the 1920s, after the discovery of the famous Peking man skull fossil in Longgushan Cave, Zhoukoudian, Fangshan District, Beijing, the whole human history was pushed to 700,000 years ago. At that time, some scholars rejoiced. They say it's great to finally find the source of mankind. Some scholars even think that human beings originated in the suburbs of Beijing. As we all know, this is not the case today. However, at that time, many scholars were encouraged by this miraculous discovery and devoted great enthusiasm to the study of Peking man's skull. At that time, it was not a China scholar who was responsible for studying Peking man's skull, but a German paleoanthropologist named Dunrui Wei.

A normal person has a head, two arms and two legs, so even if this person dies and becomes a corpse, a bone or even a fossil, the ratio of the number of the head to the arms and legs should be 1: 2, because there is one head, two arms and two legs. But I don't know why, among all the skeleton fossils of Peking man, there are many skulls, but not enough limbs bones, which can't form the correct ratio of 1: 2 with skulls. At that time, Dunrui Wei puzzled. Why?

He immediately thought of something that made him feel creepy. He remembered that there were many cannibals on the Pacific islands, especially in Polynesia. How do these cannibal tribes eat their cannibal habits? Grab the person who wants to eat first, kill him with a stick, then put his body on a shelf, and then cut it from the back of his head with a tool. The brains and blood of the dead man's head flowed out thinly. They took a container and filled it up. In some cases, they drink directly, but of course it is more likely to pour directly. Then we started eating heads. How to eat this head? This is particular, because people's foreheads are hard.

These cannibals dragged the body to the ground and then lifted a big stone. "click! ! ! "Suddenly, the man's face was smashed, because as we all know, his face has eyes, nose and mouth, and the structure of that face is unstable. After they smashed their faces, they took out the smashed eyeballs and heads of the deceased and ate them ... At that time, the heads of those cannibals who ate the rest were the same as those of Beijingers ... only their foreheads had no faces. ........
