Fuyan Cave (Chinese: 福岩洞) is a complex of limestone caves in Tangbei village, Lefutang town, Daoxian,[1] Hunan province, south central China famous for the discovery of the oldest evidence for unambiguously fully modern humans outside Africa.[2] 47 human teeth, dating to between 80,000 and 120,000 years ago, were discovered at Fuyan Cave.[3] The teeth are also unusual for showing signs of cavities, a feature typically not found in teeth older than 50,000 years.[3] However, a later study focusing on autosomal DNA analysis of the remains challenged this assertion, and found that the remains were younger than previously suspected.[4]
