Sažetak
Maba 1 is a specimen found in 1958, first described in 1959 noticing similarities within this specimen with European Neandertals (Woo and Peng 1959, from Schwartz and Tattersall 2002). U-series dating done on rhino teeth give an estimate of about 170 to 130, 000 BP for the Maba specimen (Yuan et al. 1986). More recent dating of the flowstone covering the layers thought to be the origin of the fossils found, date the Maba specimen to at least 230 ± 5, 000 BP, with an older estimate dating it to 278, 000 ± 4, 000 BP. Given the approximate dating of the Maba 1 specimen, it makes sense to compare it to the most complete specimen from the Krapina site – Krapina 3, that preserves comparable areas of the cranium (Radovčić et al. 1988). Krapina 3 is dated to about 130, 000 BP (Rink et al. 1995), thus possibly broadly penecontemporary to the Maba specimen. The two specimens are overall very similar. The differences are noticeable in morphological details of the frontal bone: more rounded frontal eminence, more protruding and thicker supraorbital torus with deeper sulcus in the Maba specimen. However, Maba is in these details similar to Krapina 6. Other differing morphological detail is ridge along the nasal bones in Maba, and nasion that is positioned posterior to the anterior face of the supraorbitals. While the overall similarity of Maba and Krapina specimens is not a definite evidence, it does indicate gene flow between the East Asian sample and eastern sample of European Neandertals.
