Professor Qiang Ji with his international research team dated the skull to at least 146,000 years old
The massive size is one of the most exceptional aspects of the fossilised skull
The Harbin cranium has a cranial capacity of approximately 1,420 milliliters
After excavating three new sites in southern Spain, over more than 10 years, the researchers discovered evidence of distinct Neanderthal materials dating from 37,000 years ago.
The study compared the relative brain costs of 22 species.
The dating of a cave site in West Sumatra in Indonesia, called Lida Ajer, provided researchers the first evidence for rainforest use of modern humans.

The first representatives of Homo sapiens colonised Europe around 43,000 years ago, replacing the Neanderthals there approximately 3,000 years later.
Researchers have assumed up to now that the lineages diverged five to seven million years ago and that the first pre-humans developed in Africa.
An Indian professor from Kerala, Manoj Kumar P, has claimed that after 14 years of thorough research, he knows how the first cell was formed, which Darwin didn't.
The cranium was found in 2014. Since the sediments containing the cranium at the Aroeira site were firmly cemented, the cranium was removed from the site in a large, solid block.
Seaweed – large marine algae, or macroalgae – is also rich in vitamin B12, iodine and poly-unsaturated fatty-acids which are essential for brain development.
Previous studies have found correlations between Neanderthal genes and traits such as fat metabolism, depression and lupus risk.
They also found similar muscles in baboon tongues as human tongues which are key to our ability to make vowel sounds.
A caesarean section, also known as c-section, is the delivery of a baby through a surgical incision in the mother's abdomen and uterus.
According to a new study, our ancestors evolved three times faster in the 10 million years after the extinction of the dinosaurs than in the previous 80 million years.
These findings could also have important implications regarding human susceptibility to degenerative diseases.
