Definition:
A well-preserved Middle Pleistocene hominin skull dated to approximately 200,000–300,000 years ago that was discovered in 1978 near Dali County, Shaanxi Province, China. It is one of the most compete early human skulls found in East Asia. The Dali Cranium features a mix of archaic and modern human features, such as robust brow ridges, a low cranial vault, and other traits typical of Homo erectus and Homo heidelbergensis, and a large brain size (about 1,200–1,260 cubic centimeters) comparable to early Homo sapiens.
