The remains of two prehistoric human fossils were discovered within the cave system. Along with Eve of Naharon, Naia, the Man of El Templo and the {{Interlanguage link multi|Woman of Las Palmas|es|Mujer de Las Palmas}}, the two fossils at Chan Hol are among several ancient Paleoamerican skeletons found in the submerged cave systems of the Yucatán Peninsula around Tulum, Quintana Roo.{{sfn|Braswell|2014|p=4}} DescriptionChan Hol is derived from Mayan, meaning "little hole".{{sfn|National Geographic News |2010}} The Chan Hol cave system extends over {{convert|5000|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} in length. The entrance, via the cenote, is located around {{convert|15|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} away from Tulum and around {{convert|11.5|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} from the modern coastline.{{sfn|González|Terrazas|Stinnesbeck|Benavente|2014}} As the sea level was over {{convert|100|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} lower than it is today, the cave system was dry during the Late Pleistocene.{{sfn|González|Terrazas|Stinnesbeck|Benavente|2014}} During the Late Pleistocene, the Yucatán region was likely composed of dry savanna, grassland and even desert.{{sfn|Braswell|2014|p=4}} Human fossilsThe skeletons of two ancient Paleoamericans were discovered within the Chan Hol cave system. Both skeletons exhibit sinodont dental morphology.{{sfn|González|Terrazas|Stinnesbeck|Benavente|2014|p=404}} Chan Hol IThe first fossil, Chan Hol I, was discovered in 2006 by Alexandra and Thorsten Kampe at a location in the cave system around {{convert|530|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} northeast of the cenote entrance, at a depth of around {{convert|8|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} underwater. Nicknamed El Joven, the fossil is dated to around 9194-8792 BP. The skeleton had fossilized while the cave system was still dry.{{sfn|González|Terrazas|Stinnesbeck|Benavente|2014}} The skeleton shows evidence of intentional placement of the dead body.{{sfn|Braswell|2014|p=4}} Chan Hol IIThe second fossil, Chan Hol II, was discovered in 2009 by Harry Gust{{sfn|González|Terrazas|Stinnesbeck|Benavente|2014}} at a location in the cave system around {{convert|1,240|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} southwest of the cenote entrance, at a depth of around {{convert|8.5|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} underwater.{{sfn|Stinnesbeck|Becker|Hering|Frey|2017}} In February 2012, photos of the skeleton spread on social media.{{sfn|Stinnesbeck|Becker|Hering|Frey|2017}} In March 2012, the site was vandalized and looted.{{sfn|Stinnesbeck|Becker|Hering|Frey|2017}} Most of the skeletal remains, including the skull, were stolen. In October 2012, researchers collected the leftover fossil fragments from the site.{{sfn|González|Terrazas|Stinnesbeck|Benavente|2014}} Although Chan Hol II was given the nickname La Niña,{{sfn|González|Terrazas|Stinnesbeck|Benavente|2014}}, later osteological analysis shows that the remains likely belonged to a young male.{{sfn|Stinnesbeck|Becker|Hering|Frey|2017}} The fossil is dated to around 11,311 BP.{{sfn|Stinnesbeck|Becker|Hering|Frey|2017}} The individual had died while the cave system was still dry.{{sfn|González|Terrazas|Stinnesbeck|Benavente|2014}} ReferencesCitationsBibliography{{refbegin|2}}
