This critical review examines if the currently available evidence is convincing enough to support the long chronology hypothesis of modern human occupation of Southeast and East Asia. Human remains from Lida Ajer Cave (Sumatra), Zhiren Cave (China), Fuyan Cave (China), Luna Cave (China), Huanglong Cave (China), and Tam Pa Ling (Laos) are frequently cited as physical evidence for MIS-5/4 modern humans in the region. However, because none of these human remains have been directly dated by reliable radiometric dating methods, their authenticity depends on whether, 1. the reported contextual and taphonomic information is correct; 2. chronology of the site really dates the fossils; and 3. the hominin status of the fossil specimens is reliable. Point 3 is not an issue in the cases discussed here, but Point 2 is relevant for some of them, and Point 1 is critical for most of them.
