• Resumen

  • In 1949 C.S. Coon identified two fossils remains as human from well within the Middle Paleolithic levels of Bisitun Cave, Kermanshah, Iran. One, an incisor, is bovid and should be deleted from further human paleontological consideration. The second is a human right radius proximal diaphysis. Comparison of its diaphyseal dimensions to those of Neandertal and Middle Paleolithic early modern human right radii aligns it predominantly with the Neandertals (and Upper Paleolithic modern humans) but separate from the available sample of southwest Asian Middle Paleolithic early modern humans.
