Forschende wollen Kieferknochen von Denisova-Mensch identifiziert haben

Überreste des Denisova-Menschen wurden lange nur in kälteren Klimazonen gefunden. Nun haben Forschende Überreste eines Kieferknochens untersucht. Die Verwandten des Menschen haben demnach auch in anderen Regionen gelebt.

780,000-Year-Old Discovery Shakes Up Human Diet History
New evidence from Israel’s Gesher Benot Ya’aqov site reveals early humans relied heavily on plants, not just meat. Researchers found preserved remains of 55 different food plants, showing our ancestors had a varied, nutrient-rich vegetarian diet 780,000 years ago.
This challenges the "caveman diet" stereotype and proves plant-based nutrition has been key to human survival for millennia. #HumanEvolution #PaleoDiet #Archaeology

Seriously exciting! A robust mandible identified as that of a #Denisovan man from #Taiwan. #Proteomics were used in the study

'Although genomic studies suggest that they were widespread throughout Asia, fossils of this group have thus far only been identified from regions with cold climates, Siberia and Tibet. Tsutaya et al. used ancient proteomic analysis on a previously unidentified hominin mandible from Taiwan and identified it as having belonged to a male Denisovan. This identification confirms previous genomic predictions of the group’s widespread occurrence, including in warmer climates. The robust nature of this mandible is similar to that seen in a Denisovan one from Tibet, suggesting that this is a consistent trait for the lineage'

Who counts as human? Throughout history, one all too common thread is that groups of people often do not believe that other groups of people are also #human. If we evolved apart so that we were different species, would we recognize our shared humanity? This week I’m offering free copies of my just released novel HUMAN to the fediverse . Just go to bretthodnett.com/FreeHUMAN.htm and use the code ‘fedihuman’.

Genetic study reveals hidden chapter in human evolution

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe.

"The fact that we can reconstruct events from hundreds of thousands or millions of years ago just by looking at DNA today is astonishing," said Scally. "And it tells us that our history is far richer and more complex than we imagined."
