Feng Xiaobo, a professor of Shanxi University, makes an introduction at the Hubei Provincial Museum in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, Dec. 26, 2024. The restored statues were unveiled by the Hubei Provincial Museum in central China on Thursday.
Two sets of ancient fossil human skulls were unearthed in 1989 and 1990 in Hubei Province. In 1994, paleoanthropologist Jia Lanpo named the fossils "Yunxian Man" after the location where they were excavated.
The analysis concluded that the fossils belonged to Homo erectus and are roughly one million years old, and they were from a male and a female aged between 25 and 45. (Xinhua/Xiao Yijiu)
