Here is a scan of the Laos skull from the appendices of the PNAS paper. There are reportedly numerous caves in the region and future research will be directed at conducting surveys of additional caves. Can’t wait to see what is recovered. ( D J Meldrum comment)
Actually the skull is very like a series of skulls already known to be very ancient, probably of Neanderthal age, and found in China: these skulls are also very much like some early Australian skulls.
A uranium date of 67 000 years was reported but has been questioned on the basis of its exact location in relation to dated geological strata.
