Lefutang, China
Fuyan Cave
Fuyan Cave is a complex of limestone caves in the south-central Chinese village of Tangbei, Hunan, known for the discovery of the oldest evidence for unambiguously fully modern humans outside Africa. 47 human teeth, dating to between 80,000 and 120,000 years ago, were discovered at Fuyan Cave. The teeth are also unusual for showing signs of cavities, a feature typically not found in teeth older than 50,000 years.
