Abstract: This paper deals with different morphological features Between early Homo Sapiens from China and Africa. Some of them are shared by the specimens from both regions but exhibit differently in morphological details; some occur in both regions in different frequencies; some could be seen only in one of these regions. In general, various features exhibit in broader morphological spectrum in Africa than in China. A tentative explanation for these phenomena has been suggested by the authors.

Key words: China; Africa; Archaic Homo sapiens; Morphology
