Revised dating of the Liujiang skeleton renews understanding of human occupation of China - EurekAlert
<p>In a new international study, researchers have provided new age estimates and revised provenance information for the Liujiang human fossils, shedding light on the presence of <em>Homo sapiens</em> in the region. Using advanced dating techniques including U-series dating on human fossils, and radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence dating on fossil-bearing sediments, the study revealed new ages ranging from approximately 33,000 to 23,000 years ago. Previously, studies had reported ages of up to 227,000 years of age for the skeleton. </p>
