Dali (fossil)
The Dali Skull, or Dali Man ((中国語:大荔人)), is a nearly complete fossilized skull, probably representing an early form of Archaic ''Homo sapiens'' which lived in the Late Middle Pleistocene period. It was discovered by Shuntang Liu in 1978 in Dali County in the Shaanxi Province of China.
The dating of the skull has been a subject of debate. Uranium-series dating of ox teeth from the site obtained a date of 209,000 ±23,000 years,〔Chen et al., 1994〕 however, the nature of the association between the hominid cranium and the ox teeth remains uncertain.〔P. Brown (Dali archaic Homo Sapiens ) University of New England, Australia〕 The fossil is considered to be the most complete skull of that time period found in China.
Access to Dali is restricted. The Dali cranium is currently housed in the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing, China.〔
== Characteristics of the Dali fossil ==
The Dali cranium is interesting to modern anthropologists as it is possibly an ideal specimen of an archaic Homo sapiens. It has a mixture of traits from both ''Homo erectus'' and ''Homo sapiens''.〔Wu X. (1981): A well-preserved cranium of an archaic type of early Homo sapiens from Dali, China. ''Scientia Sinica'' no 24: pp 530-539〕 The details of the face and skull are however distinct from European Neanderthals and earlier European hominids like the finds from Petralona and Atapuerca.
