Archaic Homo sapiens skull called "Dali"

Homo Sapiens skull (archaic), called Dali.

The adult male skull from Dali in China is the best candidate for the earliest Homo sapiens beyond Africa. The fossil plays a key role in the multiregional theory of the origin of the H. Sapiens. It is a connection between the older fossils of Homo Erectus from Zoukoudian (Peking man) and the today's Chinese and shows a long and uninterrupted evolution in this region. The skull was found in 1978 by Liu Shuntang near Dali, province of Shaanxi in China and is about 200,000 years old.
