Final answer:
Erlitou, possibly related to the Xia dynasty and with signs of advanced society from around 1.15 mya, is older than the Zhoukoudian site of the Homo erectus remains.
Step-by-step explanation:
Dated to 1.15 million years ago (mya), Erlitou is older than Zhoukoudian. The Erlitou culture, possibly associated with the Xia dynasty, reveals a sophisticated society that emerged near the Yellow River, characterized by the construction of palaces and the use of bronze vessels for rituals. In comparison, the Zhoukoudian site, associated with Homo erectus, is known for the discovery of early hominin remains in China and dates back to a much later period.
Zhoukoudian is a prominent archaeological location where remains of Homo erectus were found and is well-known for the 'Peking Man'. It was occupied roughly 400,000 to 800,000 years ago during the Pleistocene Epoch. On the other hand, Erlitou culture shows evidence of a structured society with advanced craftsmanship, long before the Zhou dynasty came into power (1046-256 BCE).
