Teeth of hominids, fossils, c. 500,000 - 400,000 BP, were discovered in the rock-shelters of Tham Khuyen and Tham Hai, Tan Van commune, Binh Gia district, Lang Son province n 1965.
These fossilized remains of hominids were the first to be discovered in Vietnam by archaeologists. The teeth are quite large, the upper teeth are cube-shaped, and the lower teeth are geometrical. Most of the teeth have their alveolar bones developed. This proves the fact that in the Pleistocene epoch, Vietnam was a place where hominids gathered and developed.
