Liujiang man

The Liujiang man (Chinese: 柳江人) is among the earliest modern humans (Homo sapiens) found in East Asia.

[1] The remains were excavated in 1958 and consist of a well-preserved adult cranium, a right innominate (hip bone), complete sacrum, multiple vertebrae, and two femoral fragments.

[8][2] Any date prior to 50,000 years ago would have been surprising, as it would seem to predate the "recent dispersal" scenario of coastal migration ("Out of Africa II").

[10] Most scholars have interpreted the cranium of the specimen as male, but have encountered difficulties reaching a consensus in the sex of the pelvis.

Scholar Karen Rosenburg argues that this difficulty is indicative of regional variations in the degree of sexual dimorphism consistent with modern populations.
