BEIJING, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) — A study showed that the ancient relatives of modern humans in northern China may have had an “Einstein’s brain” at the time they lived 200,000 to 160,000 years ago.
An international team led by Chinese archaeologists found that the cranial capacity of this hominin reached 1,700 cubic centimeters, an estimate made on the basis of skull fossils excavated in the 1970s from Xujiayao site
