We’ve had a Denisovan skull since the 1930s—only nobody knew

A 146,000-year-old skull from Harbin, China, belongs to a Denisovan, according to a recent study of proteins preserved inside the ancient bone. The paleoanthropologists who studied the Harbin skull in 2021 declared it a new (to us) species, Homo longi. But the Harbin skull still contains enough of its original proteins to tell a different story: A few of them matched specific proteins from Denisovan bones and teeth, as encoded in Denisovan DNA. So Homo longi was a Denisovan all along, and thank

The stablecoin evangelist: Katie Haun’s fight for digital dollars

But humans have spread across every continent, even remote islands.
