| Abstract: | This article presents a fossil human scapula which was found in situ from the lower part of the Salawusu Formation in 1980 at the Salawusu site of Inner Mongolia, China. The stratum is dated
from 70.9±6.2 ka BP to 124.9±15.8 ka BP by TL method. Dates from 44±7 ka BP to 63±3 ka BP, 61–68 ka BP and 35.34±2 ka BP are
obtained for the lower part of this layer by 230Th, IRSL and 14C respectively. Based on the comparisons between this scapula and the scapulae of Neanderthals, Skhul/Qafzeh fossils, Eurasian
Upper Paleolithic specimens and recent modern humans on the glenoid fossa, axillo-spinal angle, axillary border and other
features, the present authors arrived at a preliminary conclusion that this Salawusu scapula is characterized by modern features
of Upper Pleistocene humans mixed with a Neanderthal-like feature. |
