1 November 1980. Fossils of three human teeth and the left part of a mandible with two molars on it were found by Huang Wanpo of the IVPP at Longtandong in Hexian county, eastern China. All the hominin fossils were found in layer 4, dated between 387-437 Kya (could be younger) 
Only two Early Pleistocene Sangiran specimens
(S6a and S9) are thicker than the Hexian mandible. Few EP Sangiran specimens (S5, S8, and S9) have a corpus thickness similar to Hexian mandible. But wait, those are all #Meganthropus 😕 doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.2…

Two Asian fossil assemblages with similar lower second molar crown diameters to Penghu 1, Hexian and older Sangiran, include three M²s (PA837, S4, S27) of comparable crown length and breadth to the Denisovan molar doi.org/10.1038/ncomms… (supp. note)
ICYMI, Sangiran 27 is the face of Sangiran 31 (Meganthropus II) 💀
