Liujiang remains consist of complete cranium, hip bone, sacrum, vertebrae, and femurs from one adult individual in southern China. Cranium holds 1567 cc brain volume within modern human range. Brain shape matches modern East Asians with rounded form, wide frontal lobes, and high brain height. Liujiang cranium shares morphological similarities with modern East and Southeast Asians. These East Asian features date back to early modern humans in East Asia. Morphology supports multiregional model of independent East Asian origins. Original dates placed Liujiang at 68,000-139,000 years ago, predating Out of Africa II. Older dates suggest early African dispersal that went extinct before recent wave. 2024 study redates Liujiang to 23,000-33,000 years old, aligning with other Asian modern humans. Pelvis shows regional variation in sexual dimorphism matching modern populations. Scholars interpret cranium as male but debate pelvis sex due to low dimorphism. Variability indicates Liujiang not as ancient as once thought. Remains found lacking clear stratigraphic context, causing dating disputes.
