They were overtaken by the Japanese starting the war before they could get out of China, and disappeared. I've never seen any account of what happened to them, so I assume they were killed by the Japanese Army and the fossils discarded. I've thought that their fate would make a good, if tragic and depressing, short story.<br /><br />Fortunately for the science of Paleoanthropology, the scientist studying them in Beijing, Franz Weidenrich, made complete casts of the fossils and distributed them to other scientific institutions throughout the world, so at least those casts remain for study.Michael Lonienoreply@blogger.com
