Abstract
A 200-350 KYR BP human tibia has been recovered in association with craniod ental remains from the Hoedjiespunt site near Saldhana Bay. The tibia is mo rphologically similar to other Middle Pleistocene human tibiae from Africa and Europe, indicating a substantial degree of postcranial morphological ho mogeneity across the western Old World at this time.
