The location here is De E Xiang, Bose, Guangxi, China, near the Longlin Cave where fossils ancient human fossils have been found that are unlike any other -- a line of humans that died out less than 15,000 years ago. The precise location of the cave needs to be found. 

Description


Red Deer Cave people

The Red Deer Cave people are the youngest known prehistoric population who do not look like modern humans. Fossils dated between 14,500 and 11,500 years old were found in Red Deer Cave and Longlin Cave in China. Having a mix of archaic and modern features, they are tentatively thought to be a separate species of humans that became extinct without contributing to the gene pool of modern humans. Evidence shows large deer were cooked in the Red Deer Cave giving the people their name.[2]
