Abstract

The article reports a study on the dental remains discovered at the newly dug up Fuyan Cave in Daoxian County, China as of December 2015. The human teeth were found to be around 80,000-120,000 years old based on zoological and geological evidence. In the study, W. Liu and colleagues showed that the Daoxian fossils resembled that of Europeans rather than African or Asian late Pleistocene specimens.
