"Jin Changzhu and colleagues of the Institute of Vertebrate
Palaeontology and Palaeoanthropology in Beijing, announced to Chinese
media last week that they have uncovered a 110,000-year-old putative
Homo sapiens jawbone from a cave in southern China's Guangxi province.
The mandible has a protruding chin like that of Homo sapiens, but the
thickness of the jaw is indicative of more primitive hominins,
suggesting that the fossil could derive from interbreeding.
If confirmed, the finding would lend support to the 'multiregional
hypothesis'."
