Difference between Peking Man and Caveman

The Peking Man lived in a group, while the Shanding Cave Man had entered the age of clan communes.

The Peking Man made crude stone tools called "Paleolithic", while the Cave Man used tools that were still crude, but had mastered the techniques of grinding and drilling.

The Peking Man lived between 700,000 and 200,000 years ago, and the Shanding Cave Man lived about 18,000 years ago.

The Peking Man possessed the basic physical characteristics of human beings, but still retained some ape-like features.

Shan Dingdong Man no longer had ape-like features and looked basically the same as modern humans.

Shan Deng Caveman would get fire artificially, while Peking Man could only rely on fires caused by lightning to get fire.?

Extended Information

The Peking Man made tools, picked fruit and hunted wild animals during the day, and returned to his cave in Longbiao Mountain at night to rest over a fire while talking in a simple language with gestures. The Peking Apes used their lower limbs to support their bodies and walk upright, and their upper limbs, similar to the hands of modern humans, to hunt wild animals.

Living about 700,000 to 200,000 years ago, the Peking Man retained some of the characteristics of the apes, but had a clear division of labor between the hands and feet, was able to make and use tools, and could use natural fire. The forests were dense, wild and infested with fierce animals. The Pekingese hammered stones into rough stone tools, chopped branches into sticks, and struggled against nature with very primitive tools.

The Pekingese, who lived in Zhoukoudian in ancient Beijing, were Homo erectus, who used natural fire and made tools, and for the first time, human beings gained the ability to dominate a force of nature.
