Fossil WLH-50 is a partial cranium fossil that was discovered in 1982,[1] in the Willandra Lakes Region of Australia and was reconstructed by Alan Thorne.[2] Based on its overall dimensions and the growth of cranial features, WLH-50 has been determined to be a male skullcap.[3] Speculation surrounds the exact age of this fossil hominid and a debate concerning its ancestry in relation to other late Pleistocene hominids, as well as Ngandong hominids due to their close resemblance to one another.[4]
