Jinniushan (Chinese: 金牛山) is a Middle Pleistocene paleoanthropological site, dating to around 260,000 BP,[1] most famous for its archaic hominin fossils.

[4][5] The next largest female specimen ever discovered, found at Grotte du Prince, early Late Pleistocene, from around 100,000 BP, has an estimated body mass of 74 kg (163 lb).

[6][5] In accordance with Allen's rule and Bergmann's rule, the large body, wide trunk, and short limbs of the Jinniushan female is to be expected, as the hominins from that time relied more on their physical body as a cold adaptation, as their technological culture was not yet as advanced as later hominins.

[4][5] Both are typical of the rapidly increasing brain capacity and EQ found in other specimens from the Middle Pleistocene.

[1] Several new species of extinct birds were also discovered, including Aegypius jinniushanensis[14] and Leptoptilos lüi.
