The "little giant," a 1.93-meter tall human skeleton, was recently identified by experts at China's Archaeology Academy as the tallest prehistoric man ever found.
Researcher Yang Yachang determined that the "little giant," which was discovered intact in an ancient cave dwelling in Guofenglou township, Shanxi province in 2006, to have been a 16 to 18 year-old male who lived about 4,200 years ago.
Through morphological study and skeletal measurements, Cheng Liang, a professor at the academy found the "little giant" to have Asian features, his bone structure similar to that of modern day humans in South Asia.
Researchers were confused as to why he had died so young until they discovered three drilled holes in his skull.
However the reason or purpose for the holes remains unknown.

You know, some Welsh have an (epicanthic) eye fold. My mother, myself and my grandaughter all have it. It is very pronounced as a child and then again becomes more pronounced when you get old. Catherine Zeta Jones has it. Wonder if it is an ancient holdover. There is no known oriental ancestor in the family. We are otherwise English, Irish, Scottish and German
And loves his Garmin for getting around!
So do the Finns.
Watch out for snakes...
Yuo?
Wales has the highest concentration of people with 'O' type blood than anywhere else in the world.a
When you said giant teenaged caveman discovered in China, it made me wonder if her was into prehistoric video games like Pong.
