We Found Peking Man's Yearbook Photo


We stopped by Ally's Attic Too on Scenic Highway to peruse the wares and decided on a 1975 Citadel yearbook for a cool $6, but we had no idea what a treasure we'd stumbled upon. 


Flipping through the pages, our heart nearly stopped when we landed on 281. Peking Man, one of the great anthropological discoveries of the 20th century and supposedly living in China 700,000 years ago, was in fact attending school at the Citadel in the 1970s. 


As is often the case, our discovery provides more questions than answers. How did Peking Man get accepted into college? What was his GPA? What did he major in? And where did he go after graduation? If you have seen Peking Man or know of his current whereabouts, tell him we'd love to sit down for an interview.
