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'</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/anthropology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anthropology</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/paleontology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paleontology</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/humanevolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humanevolution</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/EastAsia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EastAsia</span></a><br><a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ads3888" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">science.org/doi/10.1126/scienc</span><span class="invisible">e.ads3888</span></a></p>
