Abstract The Pleistocene presence of the genus Homo in continental Southeast Asia is primarily evidenced by a sparse stone tool record and rare human remains. Here we report Middle hominin specimen from Laos, with discovery molar Tam Ngu Hao 2 (Cobra Cave) limestone cave Annamite Mountains. age fossil-bearing breccia ranges between 164–131 kyr, based on Bayesian modelling luminescence dating sedimentary matrix which it was recovered, U-series an overlying flowstone, U-series–ESR associated...
Abstract The timing of the first arrival Homo sapiens in East Asia from Africa and degree to which they interbred with or replaced local archaic populations is controversial. Previous discoveries Tam Pà Ling cave (Laos) identified H. Southeast by at least 46 kyr. We report on a recently discovered frontal bone (TPL 6) tibial fragment 7) found deepest layers TPL. Bayesian modeling luminescence dating sediments U-series combined U-series-ESR mammalian teeth reveals depositional sequence...
The sediments of Tam Pà Ling (TPL), northeastern Laos, have yielded the earliest evidence Homo sapiens in mainland Southeast Asia (∼86 ka; marine isotope stage (MIS) 5 b) with a number skeletal elements having been recovered from sequence attesting to two populations H. present vicinity between 77 ± 9 ka 39 ka. At there has very limited research into environmental conditions that these encountered during MIS 5–4. In this study, we results an analysis higher plant biomarkers (n-alkanes and...
Abstract The capability of Pleistocene hominins to successfully adapt different types tropical forested environments has long been debated. In order investigate environmental changes in Southeast Asia during a critical period for the turnover hominin species, we analysed palaeoenvironmental proxies from five late Middle Late faunas. Human teeth discoveries have reported at Duoi U’Oi, Vietnam (70–60 ka) and Nam Lot, Laos (86–72 ka). However, use palaeoproteomics allowed us discard latter,...
Secure environmental contexts are crucial for hominin interpretation and comparison. The discovery of a Denisovan individual associated fauna at Tam Ngu Hao 2 (Cobra) Cave, Laos, dating back to 164-131 ka, allows comparisons between this (sub)tropical site the Palearctic sites Denisova Cave (Russia) Baishiya Karst (China). Denisovans from northern latitudes foraged in mix forested open landscapes, including tundra steppe. Using stable isotope values Cobra assemblage, we demonstrate that,...
Abstract The timing of the first arrival Homo sapiens in East Asia from Africa and degree to which they interbred with or replaced local archaic populations is controversial. Previous discoveries Tam Pà Ling cave (Laos) identified H. Southeast by 46 kyr. We report on a new frontal bone (TPL 6) slightly older tibial fragment 7) discovered deepest layers TPL. Bayesian modeling luminescence dating sediments U-series combined U-series-ESR mammalian teeth reveals depositional sequence spanning ~...
