The earliest evidence of man, himself, in the Philippines: which is also the earliest appearance of modern man – Homosapiens – in these islands, is that of the Tabon Man of Palawan. The discovery of the human fossil was made by a National Museum team headed by the late Dr. Robert B. Fox. The fossil is composed of the skull cap, or the frontal skull bone, two fragments of jaw bones and some teeth. The set of fossils suggest that are at least three individuals. The skull cap is that of a young individual, probably female.
