Gua Kajang in Lenggong Valley, Perak, is one of the caves where several skeletal remains were found. — Filepic/2019/TheStar
My wife and I visited Lenggong, Perak, recently and were fascinated by the rich and varied prehistorical sites there.
The recent discovery of the Stegodon fossil, an ancient elephant dating back to around 30,000 to 80,000 years, shows the potential richness in ancient fossils waiting to be discovered. “Perak Man”, the oldest human skeleton found in Malaysia and likely the only ancient skeleton with a genetic defect in the world, was also found in Lenggong's limestone caves. Nearby are other caves where artefacts and cave paintings have been discovered.
