Yuanmou Man
On May 1, 1965, the Geological Mechanics Research Institute found two fossilized front teeth from Yuanmou Man in Yuanmou County in the Southwestern province of Yunnan, China. The crowns of the teeth are well preserved while the root is incomplete. These two teeth, belonging to the same male adult, are believed to be about 1.7 million years old.
