Dr. Anders Birger Bohlin (26 March 1898 – 28 November 1990) was a Swedish palaeontologist. As well as his work on dinosaurs and prehistoric mammals, Bohlin was part of the group that established the existence of Peking Man (Sinanthropus pekinensis).[1] In the 1950s, the scientific designation of Peking Man was changed when the hominid was generally decided to be a Homo erectus.
