The resemblance to the Asian counterparts indicates that early African and Eurasian fossil hominids represent a subdivision of a widespread paleospecies.

With it are several other H. erectus specimens (leg bones, cranial fragments, and a toothless mandible), a large assortment of Acheulean industry stone tools,[4] and several hundred animal fossils.

The one-million-year-old Homo sample BOU-VP-2/66 from the Dakanihylo Member, referred to as “Daka” calvaria, was discovered in Bouri, Ethiopia, found in the Middle Awash region of the Afar Rift.

[7] The resemblance of the Daka Skull to Asian counterparts indicates that the early Eurasian and African fossil hominids represent demes of a widespread palaeospecies.

Through the use of computed tomographic (CT) imagery of the Daka calvaria, observations have been made on the distortion, subcortical structures and endocranial features of this skull fossil.
