The Wajak crania (als Wadjak) are two fossil human skulls discovered near Wajak, a town in Malang Regency, East Java, Indonesia in 1888/90. Dubbed "Wajak Man", and formerly classified as a separate species (Homo wadjakensis), the skulls are now recognized as an early anatomically modern human fossil. Most likely dated to the early-to-mid Holocene (12,000 to 5,000 years ago), their morphology has been described as proto-Australoid, or intermediate between Solo Man and contemporary Australo-Melanesians, possibly with Mongoloid admixture.[1]
