Human adaptation to high altitude environment (> 2500m) is an important milestone in the process of human evolution and diffusion. As the highest altitude and largest plateau in the world, the Qinghai Tibet Plateau is an ideal area for human adaptation to extreme hypoxia environment. An early site with continuous strata, the site of jijunbu, was newly discovered on the Bank of Zhuanglang River in Yongdeng County, Gansu Province, northeast of Qinghai Tibet Plateau. A series of samples were taken from the site in 2015 and 2018. The results of photoluminescence dating show that the age of the site is 120-90 Ka, which is the earliest wilderness site on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, providing new clues for the study of early human activity history and survival adaptation on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau.
