Granger came to Zhoukoudian, China in search of prehistoric fossils in 1921. They were directed to the site at Dragon Bone Hill by local quarry men, 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!"[4]

Hundred Schools of Thought The fish trap exists because of the fish; once you've gotten the fish you can forget the trap. The rabbit snare exists because of the rabbit; once you've gotten the rabbit you can forget the snare. Words exist because of meaning; once you have the meaning you can forget the words. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can have a few words with him?        -Zhuangzi What one does not wish for oneself, one ought not to do to anyone else. -Confucius People are submissive to power, and few of them can be influenced by doctrines of righteousness. -Han Feizi Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. –Lao Tzu
