  • Xigou Site Discovery Challenges Long-Held Views on Early Human Technology in East Asia

    Led by the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the team—which included researchers from China, Australia, Spain, and the United States—conducted multidisciplinary archaeological investigations at the Xigou site in the Danjiangkou Reservoir region of central China. Their work yielded evidence of sophisticated stone tool technologies dating from 160,000 to 72,000 years ago, revealing that hominins in the region were far more innovative and adaptable than previously thought.
