Abstract:	This paper examines quantitative diversity in samples of teeth of hominoids (Order Primates, Superfamily Hominoidea) from the Pleistocene in Vietnam. The study broadens Tattersall's (1986) general claim for hominids (Family Hominidae), that relatively more recent times in the prehistoric records may contain more species of human ancestors than have hitherto been recognised. This work supports the case made by Schwartz et al.l (1994, 1995) that in some parts of their distribution at least, in this case Vietnam, fossil hominoid assemblages contain more than a single species, often showing relatively high species diversity into quite late Pleistocene times.
