	abstract = {<p>We present two previously unreported hominin permanent teeth [one right upper second molar (M2), one left lower second molar (m2)] from Lunadong ({\textquotedblleft}dong{\textquotedblright}\&nbsp;=\&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}cave{\textquotedblright}), Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. The teeth are important because: 1) they were found\&nbsp;in situ; 2) at least one (M2) can be confidently assigned to modern\&nbsp;Homo sapiens, while the other (m2) is likely modern\&nbsp;H.\&nbsp;sapiens; and 3) the teeth can be securely dated between 126.9\&nbsp;{\textpm}\&nbsp;1.5\&nbsp;ka and 70.2\&nbsp;{\textpm}\&nbsp;1.4\&nbsp;ka, based on multiple MC-ICP-MS uranium-series dates of associated flowstones in clear stratigraphic context. The Lunadong modernH.\&nbsp;sapiens\&nbsp;teeth contribute to growing evidence (e.g., Callao Cave, Huanglongdong, Zhirendong) that modern and/or transitional humans were likely in eastern Asia between the crucial 120{\textendash}50\&nbsp;ka time span, a period that some researchers have suggested no hominins were present in the region.</p>
