摘要： 以耳上颅高推算现代人颅容量的公式可适用于汤山直立人1号头骨的颅容量的推算。汤山直立人1号头骨的颅容量推算值为871ml，与周口店直立人3号头骨的颅容量值相近，提示了汤山直立人的年代“早于40万年或更早”的看法更可取些。

Abstract: In this paper, 18 formaulae of cranial capacity estimation cited from literature are examined using Homo erectus crania from Zhoukoudian(ZKD). The results show that Ding' s formulae based on auricular height can provide an accurate estimation of cranial capacity for Homo erectus as well as modern Chinese. This formulae predicts a capacity of 871 cc for Homo erectus skull 1 from Tangshan, Nanjing.
The cranial capacity of 871 cc suggests that an older date, 400 kyr or more, is acceptable for Tangshan according to the comparison of cranial capacity to the date in Homo erectus from ZKD made by Wolpoff.
