This is a facial portrait of Tianyuan Man, an early modern human (Homo sapiens) who would have lived in northeastern China between 42,000 and 39,000 years ago, making him among the first modern humans to occupy the region of East Asia. Identified from 34 bone fragments found in the Tianyuan Cave near modern Beijing, he and his people would have been related to the ancestors of modern Asian and Native American people. Isotope analysis of these remains suggests that Tianyuan Man’s hunter-gatherer community would have eaten a lot of freshwater fish back in their time.
