The closest sample to the Moh Khiew specimen is the Late
Pleistocene Coobool Creek from Australia, and the next closest
is the modern Australian Aborigines. The Early to Middle
Holocene Southeast Asian samples such as Liang Toge from Flores,

recovered from the Moh Khiew specimen and found continuity with
the Semang Negrito foragers living in the Malay Peninsula. Homo

morphological features of the people of that age are still
largely unknown due to the virtual lack of human remains in the
