Abstract: A fossil human lower first molar was discovered from the Fox Cave at Dongkou village of Qingliu county, Fujian Province in 1988. It is the first time that a human fossil was found from stratum in the province. The specimen was buried in the bed of greyish-yellow sandy soil with fine gravel, a deposit of Late Pleistocene.
Six species of associated mammalian fossils were collected from the locality, i.e. Megatapirus augustus, Hystrix subcristata, Rodentia, Ursus sp., Sus scrofa, Cervus sp. They are the members of the Ailuropoda-Stegodon fauna, which is spread in South China during Late Pleistocene. From comparative study of the geology and geomorphology of the locality and the analysis of the fauna the age of the fossiliferous stratum could be the late part of the Late Pleistocene.
The human tooth belongs to a juvenile individual. The tooth is undistinguished from modern man in size and morphology. It was considered to be assigned to the Late Homo sapiens. Besides, this human tooth suffered from severe dental hypoplasia and caries.
