Wowza! A Mysterious human fossil jaw found in Taiwan was a #Denisovan #Hominid! Very far south from its initial find location.

“…a fossilized jawbone discovered more than 20ya named Penghu 1 was dredged up by fishing crews 25 km off the west coast of #Taiwan.”

Race isn’t a “biological reality.” For @TheConversationUS, professor John P. Jackson, Jr. looks at the evidence that says race was invented by humans, not nature.

wow - this expands the realm of #Denisovans a lot.

A new #Denisovan
mandible from #Taiwan
Ancient #protein analysis revealed that the oldest #hominin #fossil in Taiwan was derived from a male Denisovan

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1079260

Paper is out in #Science #anthropology

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'

@eryops our point is not so much about Greenpeace, good or bad, as the use of #blood red pigment #symbolic of #resistance to #male #dominance. We work on the #science of how old that is in #Homosapiens

Our fingers wrinkle in water due to a loss of blood flow our nervous system causes, and (they think) this is because evolution-wise, this would've allowed early humans to grip things better when their hands were wet (fish, tools, etc).
