A diagram shows where a human cranium was struck.A skull was found in China on November 22, 2011. The skull had been viciously bashed, which suggests that there was violence between humans. It said that it was from a 126,000 year old human know as a Maba Man. The skull showed that it had been fractured from something heavy. The human most likely had a concussion and bleeding from the blow to the head. But the blow was not what killed him. He lived for several years after the blow to the head. The blow to the head was most likely in some sort of fight.

Finding things such as this bashed skull could help us discover more things from the Maba men. Which means more information which means more history for future generations to learn.
