Yunxian Man, Archaeological site of early human remains in Yunxian County, China.
The third skull discovered at Yunxian in 2022 represents the most complete Homo erectus specimen found in inland Eurasia to date.
The initial discoveries of two Homo erectus skulls in 1989 and 1990 established Yunxian as a crucial site for studying human evolution in Asia.
Researchers have uncovered 500 stone tools and 2,000 animal remains, indicating advanced hunting and tool-making capabilities of these early humans.
The excavation site contains educational facilities where visitors can learn about the scientific methods used to study ancient human fossils.
Three-dimensional modeling techniques and 200,000 photographs document the meticulous extraction process of the third Yunxian skull.
