The Terminal Pleistocene Human Skull From Yahuai Cave: Craniofacial Morphological Variation and Complex Population History in Southern East Asia
(1) YH1 exhibits mosaic craniofacial traits, serving as an evolutionary transition between Late Pleistocene hominins and Holocene populations. (2) Around 16.0k years ago, the north-south differentiation in East Asian craniofacial morphology had not yet been completed. (3) YH1 may have contributed to the Austronesian-speaking populations' origin.
