Speleological and environmental history of Lida Ajer cave, western Sumatra [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2022
Some of the earliest evidence for the presence of modern humans in rainforests has come from the fossil deposits of Lida Ajer in Sumatra. Two human teeth from this cave were estimated to be 73–63 thousand years old, which is significantly older than some estimates of modern human migration out of Africa based on genetic data.
