| Abstract: | A variety of new chronometric, biostratigraphic and other data and a reanalysis of previous research indicates maximum ages of 0·11·3 m.y.a. for the earliest known Asian hominids. Most of the data suggest that the majority of known Asian hominids are less than 1·0 m.y.a. All of these hominids can be incorporated within the taxa Homo erectus or Homo sapiens. A new hyper-robust cranium which has been referred to Meganthropus is also discussed. The chronometric framework and morphological data reveal that the Asian hominid fossil record does not support stasis over a protracted period of time, but rather gradual change over a period of ca 1·00·7 million years. |
