    Yunxian Man III

    https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202209/1276363.shtml


    The fossil is the third ancient human skull that can be traced to around
    1 million years ago, making it the third "Yunxian Man." Recently found in Shiyan, Central China's Hubei Province, the skull belonged to Homo
    erectus.
    Gao Xing, a researcher at the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, said that the skull has not been completely
    excavated from the soil, but the uncovered parts, including the frontal
    bone and eye sockets, show no obvious damage, which surprised
    archaeologists and makes the fossil as the most intact Homo erectus'
    skull fossil found on the Eurasian continent.
    The third skull was found just 35 meters away from the previous two
    fossil skulls and the mud covering the skull also has research value,
    Gao told the Global Times.
    Yunxian Man lived around 1 million years ago, a key point in the
    evolution of Homo erectus.

    So has anyone suggested "Intentional Burial" yet, or is that only
    reserved for the smallest-brained, most physically primitive populations
    which haven't even figured out tools yet?

    Asking for a friend.
