The research team conducted independent palaeoproteomic analyses and ancient DNA experiments on the skull and its dental calculus, providing proteomic and genetic evidence linking the Harbin skull to ...

Researchers first described the skull in 2021, estimating it to be at least 146,000 years old and distinct enough to merit a ...

Fifteen years after the discovery of a new type of human, the Denisovan, scientists discovered its DNA in a fossilized skull.

Scientists have recovered genetic material from a skull found in northeastern China, which they say reveals the most complete ...

Scientists have determined that a giant skull from an ancient human relative named the "Dragon Man" is actually Denisovan.

Despite their genetic contributions to present-day East Asians and Oceanians, what Denisovans looked like has remained an ...

In the summer of 2021, a team of five Chinese researchers stirred up some controversy by suggesting that an unusual skull ...

Ancient proteins and DNA may peg a 146,000-year-old Chinese skull as the most complete fossil to date from Denisovans, a puzzling line of Asian hominids.

So Homo longi was a Denisovan all along, and thanks to the remarkably well-preserved skull, we finally know what the ...
