Maba Man
Maba Man (Traditional: 馬壩人, simplified: 马坝人 pinyin: mǎbà-rén) is the pre-modern hominid whose remains were discovered in 1958 in caves near the town called Maba, near Shaoguan city in the north part of Guangdong province, China.[1]
The Maba Men lived in caves at Lion Rock, near Maba.[1] The site is now a park and tourist attraction including the possibility to visit the cave and a museum nearby.
Although described at the site as "ape-men", the Maba Men were not really very apelike and were comparable to European Neanderthals.
