In this thread, let us know a little bit about 5 such unique sites.
(Not to be confused with BORI - we are old, but that old)
One of the oldest pieces of evidence of humans in India, reported artefacts from Bori suggest the existence of humans in India around 1.4 million years ago.
But the most amazing part is that -
Eruptions of Mount Toba over the millennia are believed to be extremely influential catalyst events in earth's history.
A densely concentrated complex of 200 odd sites, Isampur excavation uncovered a human settlement that is approximately 11 lakh years old site.
At Isampur, ancient man-made tools made from the bedrock can be found.
Odisha offers rich and diverse archaeological sites from various pre-historic eras.
One of such places, a chalcolithic site of Suabarei, is unique because many elephant bones are found here.
Situated on the banks of Ganga, the Agiyabir site shows evidence of a Neolithic human settlement that carried out subsistence fishery.
Pit-dwelling site is a peculiar type of settlement. In such sites, we find that ancient man dug pits of 3 to 5 meters in diameter in the ground for occupation.
These are found in places that experience harsh winters.

It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.
That estimate is from 2012.
5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.
I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.
