Project Details

Description

As our ancient human ancestors traveled through Asia, they left behind clues to our
evolutionary history. Their pathway can be reconstructed using breadcrumb-like trails of fossilised human teeth found in limestone caves, along with the teeth of animals they hunted. Analysing these teeth within a precise timeline can provide clues as to the environmental challenges, behavior, activities and even survival capabilities of early Chinese populations
