Changyang man

As Changyang man (, 人 , Chángyángrén , English Changyang Man ) are called Middle Paleolithic fossils , which were discovered in 1956 in Zhaojiayan, Changyang County , in the Chinese province of Hubei . The finds date from the late Pleistocene . The Changyang man is later than the Maba man ( Mabaren ) and earlier than the Dingcun man ( Dingcunren ). The fossils discovered are a left upper jaw and three teeth (two teeth belong to the perineum of the upper jaw, one is a single tooth). These fossils were called archaic Homo sapiens by their Chinese editors , which, however, contradicts the genetic analyzes of the spread of humans known today , on the basis of which they are to be assigned to Homo erectus .
