Significance of Perak Man's discovery

The discovery of Perak Man is significant for several reasons. Firstly, it is regarded as one of the most significant archaeological finds in history^1. Perak Man is the most complete Paleolithic human skeleton found in Southeast Asia^2. The discovery of Perak Man and the Lenggong Valley site, where the skeleton was found, provided insights into history, how he lived and died, and the care taken over his burial, which revealed more about the society he lived in^1. Secondly, Perak Man provides the earliest evidence of the Brachymesophlangia Type A2 congenital deformity^4. Thirdly, the discovery of Perak Man and other archaeological finds in the Lenggong Valley have contributed to other sciences such as medical sciences, as skeletal remains provide ancient data for medical sciences^4. Finally, the discovery of Perak Man and other archaeological finds in the Lenggong Valley have led to the recognition of the area as a UNESCO World Heritage site^6.
