Abstract
A well-preserved human cranium of late Middle Pleistocene, belonging to a young male individual is discussed. It has many characters identical to those of early H. sapiens or intermediate between H. erectus and modern man. It also possesses some features close to H. erectus. It probably belongs to an archaic type of early H. sapiens. Taken with other Chinese human fossils, it is on the continuous human evolutionary line in China. The cranium differs from Neanderthals in a number of racial characteristics. it is considered H. sapiens daliensis. ssp. nov.
