Abstract: Eight human fossil teeth described in this paper were unearthed by a field team in Liujiang, Guangxi in 1981.
The description of the teeth shows that most features of the teeth are quite similar to those of modern human. We attributed it to late Homo sapiens in classification.
Two of these teeth have dental caries. This is the earliest evidence in human fossil teeth of China.
The mammalian remains associated with human fossils belong to the Ailuropoda- Stegodon fauna widely distributed in South China. Judging from the fauna, geological age of this site is late Pleistocene

Key words: Liujiang; Late Homo sapiens; Late Pleistocene; Ailuropoda-Stegodon Fauna
