Was the Peking man a cannibal?

I doubt you'll find the answer in Wikipedia. It is very likely that in times of severe food shortages that Peking man resorted to eating his own species. It is extremely difficult to tell from the evidence available, but it is known that cannibalism was practised in later races when no other food was available, and it is probably reasonable to ume that Peking man also did this.
