Archaeologists have found remains at the heart of Peking which show that people lived 20,000 years ago on the site where an office tower is to be built, a Chinese newspaper reported.

The remains were discovered on 28 December at the construction site for the Oriental Plaza tower, near Tiananmen Square.
