Resumen
El objeto de este estudio no es otro que el de recordar a las personas que en su día tomaron parte, de una forma u otra, en los inicios de la investigación paleontológica y arqueológica en China durante una de las épocas más convulsas de su historia, poniendo especial énfasis en la persona del Doctor Otto Zdansky, a menudo olvidado o no reconocido como primer descubridor del Hombre de Pekín. Entre los últimos años de la dinastía Qing y la formación de la República, se produjo en China la llegada de destacados paleontólogos-antropólogos en busca de restos fósiles para los museos de Occidente. China despertaba de su atraso científico y supo aprovechar esa llegada incorporando en sus equipos de trabajo a sus universitarios. Como se verá, la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la Guerra Civil frenaron prácticamente los trabajos de campo, pero ya estaban asentadas con solidez las bases de la que hoy en día es una de las naciones que más empeño científico, económico y social destinan a la Arqueología; y todo, por un simple diente.

Between the last years of the Qing dynasty and the formation of the Republic, prominent paleontologist-anthropologists arrived in China in search of fossil remains for Western museums. China was waking up from its scientific backwardness and knew how to take advantage of that arrival by incorporating its university students into its work teams. As will be seen, the Second World War and the Civil War practically stopped field work, but the foundations of what is today one of the nations that devotes the most scientific, economic and social commitment to Archeology were already solidly established; and all, for a simple tooth.
